Description

Did you install the Prusa Original Enclosure lid mod?  Did you also add @MW_3D 's awesome  "Hinged lid with gas spring for Original Prusa Enclosure" mod and @PetrZikmund 's "Complete modified Hinged lid for Original Prusa Enclosure"?  Do you still want to use @BD_1634 's “Multi Spring Handle for Hinged lid with gas spring for Original Prusa Enclosure” mod?  

Then this mod should work for you!  I extended the latch to accommodate the thicker top of the enclosure.  @PetrZikmund's mod adds about 6.5mm of thickness to the top of the enclosure so a longer latch is needed.

I used just two slots with a springs sized at “10mm OD, 0.7mm Wire Size, 9mm Compressed Length, 40mm Free Length, 11.8N Load Capacity” from Amazon (USA) as recommended by @BD_1634 here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09139KY37?th=1 

Using three springs did not enable smooth operation of the latch due to the extended lever arm of the latch.  It's too stiff so two spring is just right for better movement.

Print Settings:

Material: PETG
Infill: 30%
Perimeters: 4-5
Layer height: 0,2 mm
Support: as you see fit but it will definitely need supports

Hope this helps you out!

Post your makes if you like!
