Norcold RV Refrigerator Latch (OEM Replica) by Crypto2k

Last crawled date: 2 years, 11 months ago

My OEM Norcold RV refrigerator drying latch was bending and about to break so I replicated it in Fusion360 for easy replacements. This is a pretty close replica and now that it's out of the way, I intend to do a 2.0 where I try to improve the overall strength at some point. These are very quick prints so it's easy enough to just make more.
These function as a set, one for the fridge and one for the freezer. They print fast and easy flat on the bed with supports on build plate only to support the slight rise between ends. This is so the latch can store within the handle when not in use. Support it right at the bend when you pull off the support. Mine comes away very clean.
I could only find this part as part of the whole latch making for an expensive and cumbersome replacement. The added bonus of this specific latch style over the custom ones also available on thingiverse is this works great even while in motion as there is no play/chatter in the door when used.
If this saves you a headache and improves your RV experience, drop me a comment and/or consider a tip! More RV related prints to come.
Note Depending on your print tolerances you may need to enlarge the hole slightly on the raised end. Be very careful not to apply too much pressure or it may split. It may be easier to just scale the print up or down slightly. If anyone has any issues, let me know and I can edit the model as well.
