Very Simple RC Plane Canopy Latch

prusaprinters

<p>The latch on my 3dhs Edge 540 48" decided to disappear in flight. I designed this to quickly replace it.</p> <p>It is 8mm wide, 12mm tall and 25 mm long. the latch handle is 5mm deep and 12mm tall.</p> <p>the holes are slightly under-sized so will need to be drilled out to fit a piece of wire or whatever you have on hand.</p> <p>I used 2mm thick carbon fiber rod as the pin and a spring from a ball point pen. If you drill the holes out at the right size then no glue is needed for assembly.</p> <p>Print the latch handle with the flat side down so no supports are needed and the layer strength is perpendicular to the direction of travel.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Wanhao</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.28</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>NA</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> eSun PLA</p> </p></p></p> Category: R/C Vehicles
