Sterilite Gasket Box Latch

This is a replacement latch for a Sterilite Gasket Box. The ones I own are 54qt (51L), but from looking at pictures of other Sterilite gasket boxes, I think this latch is used on multiple models. It fits pretty tightly (tighter than the original) but it does work. A bit of superlube on the posts helps a bit. With the originals the little posts on the latches kept breaking, so now I can print replacements.

Please leave a comment if you use this on a different size box and it works (or doesn't).

54qt (51L)

Notes:

NEW RECOMMENDED PRINTING ORIENTATION (Oct 23, 2022):

The object in the STL is in the orientation I printed it in. Feel free to experiment if you have a better idea. I printed it with 40% gyroid infill with tree supports using PLA+. Using a support brim for better adhesion of the tree supports is highly recommended.

June 2023: I've actually recently found that in this orientation it will print ALMOST without supports as long as you have adequate part cooling. Really only the pins need to be supported.
