Yamaha Waverunner FX Rear Compartment Latch

[chimeranzl]

Designed this (to be 3D printed) to replace rubber OEM latch, not tested yet (testing this weekend on mates ski)

Also designing a 2nd version without rear pin will test this too and upload if it works.

Maybe useful for others...

Tested and confirmed they work spot on

Are you planning on selling these? Could possibly be a high demand for em' especially since the OEM ones are so hard to get. I had to wait almost 6 months for my set of OEM replacements!

Is the second version going to work out?

Nah, it's free to download. If you have a mate with a 3D printer, send him the STL file and a box of beers Just bear in mind would need to use PETG or Nylon as filament (coz PLA won't last)

Is the second version going to work out?

I hope so!

Latch v1 works perfectly, however when I initially tested latch v2 on my mates ski last weekend, it was a little short/tight (couldn't close the clip fully) so I've increased the length by 3mm, but am yet to test. I'm seeing him in 2 weeks time so will test then. I've uploaded latch-v2, so give it a try and let me know in the interim if you can!

Good stuff man. Im glad you are sharing the file for people too! I dont have a 3d printer, but plan on getting one for stuff like this. I just want to learn a little cad stuff first.
