Eureka Model 10 Nozzle Latch

[madman]

I was reminded by that other Eureka thread that I've been putting off making a nozzle latch for my model 10. Having the day off (mostly), I decided to go ahead and design and print one.

Of course, only now did I realize that my other, junky model 10 has a little steel plate behind the nozzle latch, and I forgot all about it. However, the one without it has no witness marks of it ever having been there. Maybe some of these had different latch designs? I know the model 9 is different because the face of the fan case is shaped differently. And there are other differences between my two model 10s.

Anyway, it seems to work. The first iteration was a little delicate and broke easily. 100% infill seems to have fixed that. I might make some tweaks still, like making the grabby bit thicker. Not sure. Having issues with thingiverse, I'll upload the file later.

Looks great! One or both of yours could be model 11s, would need the serial numbers to verify. Are you going to make the finished 3d print design public?

Yes, I will upload it to thingiverse... whenever their website stops being broken. Can't log in for some reason.

Thingiverse is still kind of broken. I had to manually enter the url https://accounts.makerbot.com/logout and attempt to login again, and repeat that twice before it finally logged me in.

Anyway, here's the link.
