edit: If someone has a PC Engine suitcase with missing latches and wants to see if they will work send me a PM.

My latch has been broken for 20 years...

If someone told me 20 years ago that I would be getting a new latch "printed" for my Turbo CD carrying case, I would have been like "What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?"

I have a total of 24 latches.  Eight of them are spoken for so if anyone is interested in a pair (or a single) they are $20 shipped for a pair and $14 shipped for a single. Shipping outside of the US will be a bit more so PM me for a quote.  Here is what they look like finished:

That's nice work. 3D printers are a pretty cool, relatively recent, technology.

Someone mentioned above, years ago not expecting this. I can say the same, since years ago this would have involved more work; A mold, etc.

The process you use to dye the latches... would it work on, oh, i dunno... let's say, the hideous white DUO TAP or PC Engine Taps?
It should.  I used the same dye on my center console in my car and has lasted for years and years.

The latches are dyed and after they cure for a couple of days I will start shipping.

Someone is sending me a duo hu-card lid so I can model it.  I'm going to try and color match it while I have it also.
