Hi!

Some of you have pm'd me to inquire about how things are going along.

As of now, this is a test unit he printed. He was just testing to make sure he's got the correct contours for the outer cover and the button. He still has a ways to go. Because the unit I had provided was broken, he is having to reverse engineer the inside surfaces, of which my original unit had various broken pieces. I had provided the latch assembly so that he can make sure that there is no impinging during function.

Please keep in mind that the final product will have a fit and finish much more aligned with the original part. I know progress has been slow going, but please hang in there. There were various situations that affected when he could start working on our parts. First he had a backlog from other clients, and then fell ill.

Hello
Is it still too late to add my name to the list for 2?
I'm in France although can get stuff sent to the UK if it's cheaper.
Thanks for all your effort in this.
Regards Adrian

It’s not too late. You’re just in time. I was speaking to him yesterday and he’s got it nearly finished.


This is the CAD design

This is his second prototype

This orange one would be the third prototype




As you can notice, there are holes for a screw. The decision was made for this to be a screw retained design. The screws will be shipped with the part.
