A couple of weeks ago, I posted in the Trading Post, about wanting to buy new Nubus slot covers (and CD-Bezel kit), and @elbaroni gave me a clever suggestion to look for 3D-printable parts (https://hackaday.com/2019/01/19/unobtanium-bezels-finally-modeled-for-3d-printing/). But then one of my cover latches chattered into pieces, so I decided to do something about the missing or broken parts of my newly acquired Quadra 950 and work on my 3D-modeling skills at the same time.
First up, new cover latches. (Inspired by this project https://modelrail.otenko.com/apple/quadra-950-case-issues-and-modifications).
Chattered epoxy riddled old latch.
Old and new 3D-printed latch.
New Latch in place.
Works great!
Here’s the .STL file if someone would like to give it a try. (No guarantees).
