Roadstar Cupboard Catch

Roadstar made solid gear, but the small plastics are always the first to go — and the cupboard catch is a regular on our bench. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

Why these break

Spring tab loses tension so cupboards fly open in transit. The factory part is made from styrene-based plastic that loses its plasticisers over the years. It gets glassy, then one warm day it lets go under a load it used to handle easily.

How we reproduce them

Reproducing one is straightforward for us: we measure your sample (broken is fine, as long as most of it is there), match the profile, and print in a tougher modern material. Turnaround is usually within the week.

We print these in PETG. PETG has a little give in it, so it snaps into place like the original and shrugs off the knocks that shattered the old part.

As with everything in our library: whether a part can be reproduced depends on size, load, heat, material, and having a decent sample to work from. Send photos first — the assessment costs you nothing, and we'll tell you honestly if a genuine spare is the better option.
