Description

Summary This version uses no springs, and can be installed as is. in my case, the original latch, if printed in PLA, could warp over time. This was likely due to my arm rest only being able to support one spring on one side, so the pressure of the spring warped the clip. So this version does not use any springs, but still operates in the same way. for maximum strength, print on its side and use support (see image) Print Settings Printer: Creality CR10 mini Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 100 Filament: ZERO PLA.
