I printed mine in Bambu Labs PA6-CF. It was sitting around unused. Plus, I wanted the latch to last. Seemed fitting. 

Don't use PLA. 

Get some Rapid PETG from Amazon, at least. There are a few brands that have PETG, that prints similar to PLA at high speeds.

If you have a double gate like mine, I included a handle to use on the secondary gate's bar. Measure the bar first, to see if it is 18mm. Or whatever 18mm is in inches.

Holes are 6mm. I used 5mm bolts and nuts.

 

I hated the latch on my double gate.. well, gate. So I made a replacement handle for the secondary gate. Then instead of waiting for a new latch to be delivered. I modeled one to print it.

The bracket will work on 1 and 3/8 inch fence posts. The fork itself is over sized, so I wouldn't have to make different sizes for that. It still keeps my gate closed with no issues.

I will model more brackets for different size fence posts soon.
