Replacement door latch for a maytag dryer. No supports needed. I printed this one in clear PETG, but PLA should hold just as fine.
Original was always bending out of shape and falling from it's socket. I bought a replacement plastic one similar to this model, but the fit wasn't good (even if it was specially made for this dryer, it didn't extend far enough for the latch to latch properly) so I redesigned it. Flipped the springy sides 90 degrees to make them printable and adjusted the pin length and width to get a good latch.
The fourth model or so fitted well enough, but was a bit wiggly and to thin at the bottom and finally broke after 3 months.
This is the 5th iteration and holds up very good so far. The tappered side makes it snug and it feels stronger.
Let me know if it works for you !
