About this model

A smaller version of my other latch, has a softer snap action and is generally smaller. Print in place, no supports needed. Update 14/01/2021: Removed some material from the female side clip, it is now a little more snappy without being too strong. Update 05/02/2021: Please orientate the part so it prints flat on the print bed, this is important as it plays to the strength on printer layers instead of against them. [](
