v2.3 - Improve lock tabs
v2.2 - Cleaned up low poly look, some minor aesthetic changes
Changed some things from the original model (actually remodeled it to make it cleaner and fit more snug). Two contact points for fitting as my latch area broke. The hinge part required pushing out the pin, placing the 3d printed cap, and pushing the pin back in. I had a small piece of wire that was strong enough to get the pin out. Note, there is a correct way the pin goes in and out, so examine it carefully so not break the existing plastic when removing it.
