Vaporproof Fluorescent Fixture - Latch Repair

thingiverse

This is a replacement part for the latches used on fluorescent vaporproof / vaportight fixtures. The swim club that I belong to uses these fixtures in the locker rooms, and this is the part which seems to break most readily. Replacement latches are available at Amazon, but they are $3 each - not too expensive, but I do have a 3D printer... Your mileage may vary with these - they work fine on our lights. No suitability for purpose is expressed or implied. These seem to work fine, but the actual use is your responsibility. Search for LCW Vaporproof/Vaportight plastic clips on Amazon to find production replacement parts. UPDATE 1 June 2018 - the parts have been in place for nearly a year, and seem to be holding up well. UPDATE 30 May 2019 - the parts are still going strong, almost two years later. Not bad for cheap PLA from a sub-$200 printer.
