This latch is a door handle and flush fitting latch for 3mm acrylic doors, designed specifically to fit 2/2X style printers with metal frames and routed plastic panels. The latch attaches securely to a hole in a lasercut 3mm acrylic panel, such as the one found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:991861, and latches closed on 5mm plastic panels using a single 16mm M3 flathead machine screw and an M3 nut. To assemble, simply attach the latch to the door panel using the provided hardware. This latch should be used in conjunction with the hinges found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:994118 and stress relieving washers available at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:755320.
