About this 3D model

UPDATE: 3 June 2014 The lugs on the hinged part were weak.. Have uploaded a stronger version, and removed the older ones to avoid confusion, since they were too weak. I have always disliked the birds nest of wires on my Simple, so here, I have tried to tidy them up a bit, and make access to the board easier. If there are any improvements you feel could be added, let me know. I have uploaded, a split version of the holder, so that those with a smaller print area can print it, maybe superglue it together, of just tape. Have now used V4 of the latch with a hump, to help stability, happy with it. It might be better to rotate this latch, head-on 90 degrees, this will improve the strength of the end with the holes. This is a good example of the subtleties of 3D printing.
