About this 3D model

The Electric Meter Cupboard catch broke, and the door was left banging about in the wind. So, taking the old part, I measured the dimensions with calipers, and using AutoDesk 123D design I set about re-designing a replacement. After approx. 4 iterations, printing the part on a MakerBot 5th Generation in PLA with a Smart Extruder+ fitted , I settled on the final design which I fitted to the door and it works well, stopping the door swinging open in the wind and protecting the Electric meter from the elements. From Problem, to Design to 3D Print to Iteration to Solution.
