The latch on our hopper window broke, so I decided to print a new one!
The original piece used rivets for the hinge. I did not have any laying around, so I used a M4 sized nut and flat-head bolt. I know these are best used as fasteners, but due to the small rotation or the latch, it does not feel much resistance when rotating.
The bolt was cut into the correct length while the nut was threaded onto it. This allows the thread to keep functioning after the cut.
