Designed around an Alu-Cab Contour truck topper. Latch mount was also tested on a SmartCap and appeared to fit the nominal 90-35mm opening.

The cam design may need to be modified to work with SmartCap and others that I have not fully tested the design on. The Alu-Cap required the cams to be clocked in four unique positions to match up with the OEM striker plates. Striker plates could also be modified to use the OEM metal cam, but it was easier just to print custom cams to fit each location. 

Materials: I used ASA for the part exposed to UV. ABS-GF for inside backing plate so I could print the larger part without warping. ASA seems to work for the cams and provides a solid connection, but I will likely replace those part with PCCF or PACF next time I have my printer set up for those materials.  

Print Settings: 0.6mm Nozzle, 2 walls, 30% infill (50% infill for cams)

Assembly:

  • The captured hardware in my design is an M6 Rivnut. Fully crunch the Rivenut for maximum strength. The hole is designed to capture the Rivenut on the backside. Other hardware options such as heat-set would obviously work with changes to the print design. 

  • Use purple locktite or equal on the single M6 assembly screw and the cam jam nuts.
