Hose reel side cover latch

Wall-mounted hose reels keep their spool cover on with a rotating latch that fatigues in sunlight and snaps, letting the cover flap loose. The latch is a 40 mm lever 12 mm wide with a 6 mm pivot hole, a 3 mm hook that engages the cover rim, and a small detent bump that holds it closed. Print it flat at 100 percent infill in ASA or PETG, which resist UV far better than PLA, and fillet the hook root where the original cracked. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.
Opening the ready-made model and downloading it as STL or 3MF are free, no card; AI changes use credits, from Maker at $7.99 a month.No printer? We print this part and ship it to your door. See its priceUpdated

Fit notes

Describe the pivot diameter and the hook reach of your reel to SpeakCAD and it generates a latch for that model, saving a search through obsolete part numbers. If it feels loose, adjust the detent height in the chat and regenerate. Open the ready-made model free, change its numbers in the viewer and download the STL or 3MF free; AI changes use credits.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.

Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.

No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
