Voron2.4R2 Clockwork 2 locking latch issue

[SamppaD]

Hi. My Voron clockwork2 latch is already in need of replacement due to threaded bolt that is used to lock the latch in place. I downloaded the new stl from github and printed it only to notice that its not the same as the old latch. Design seems to be changed. My cw2 is a pif part so i didn't expect this. Does anyone know where to find this stl or a better solution to this problem.

Following along since my CW2 latch just started randomly popping up as well.

 

I'm curious what the crew suggests?

So yourself a favor and upgrade to Galileo 2.0 extruder.   Drop in replacement for this and much more reliable.

I went through this a few months ago as my latch broke in the really thin part. Printed the latest latch and it didn't fit.

I found a modified version on Thingiverse that has a thicker "thin" part but still fits:

Not long after this I upgraded to Galileo 2, no regrets.

Thanks to Sergey for providing the stl.  It looks like this is a failure point with CW2. So yes i will be ordering Galileo2 so solve this permanently. Its annoying when print fails due to latch opening partially and filament feed is interrupted.

I haven't had a latch fail on me, but I do agree on the Galileo 2 upgrade path. It's just so much easier to live with. I don't even bother using my load and unload macros any more.

For future reference, here's the Clockwork 2 repository: https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-Stealthburner/tree/main/STLs/Clockwork2

Hi. Galileo kit comes without printed parts so does anyone knows if galileo stl files need to be XY size adjusted in slicer before printing?

I just placed my order for mellow LDO rev C galileo 2 extruder kit now only need to print plastic parts. Filament choice ABS or ASA? Enclosure temperature is temp sensor/exhaust fan controlled set to 50C.

Had my G2E installed for almost a year now, printed in ABS.  Refer to the G2E github for further info https://github.com/JaredC01/Galileo2

You shouldn't need to scale the STLs, but I did use Vector3D's Calilantern to calibrate my printer.

[claudermilk]

No scaling needed, just print them as-is. Obviously have a well-tuned printer.

Thanks for helping,now waiting for the galileo kit to arrive in meantime start printing plastic parts.
