These are the ORIGINAL and ONLY GFC latch covers. Still hands down the best GFC product from a small business owner located right here in Montana.

As an Engineer who does a lot of prototyping, I am curious about a few things:

1 - What printer?
2 - Do you heat them up and press them against a texture plate?

Very well made!
Thanks

Currently use the p-series printers from “Bambu Labs”.

The heated build plate itself is textured which transferred that onto the part.

Appreciate it!

Did you sell your covers through GFC as well? They look exactly the same.

@pablomoca Long story short, no. Would have been awesome but unfortunately GFC released their own design some months after mine.

That is unfortunate.

I have both and definitely recommend his over the gfc ones … theirs are really stiff and hard to open and close…his just pops open and close effortlessly…

If you need to save money gfc on the side but definitely his on the back panel… even then I would just do his…the gfc ones are kinda a pain…

I’ve had the GFC version on my camper for two months but I just placed an order for the ones from @Buhlockaye because the GFC ones are way to stiff and have become a source of contention for me. Even when warm they are difficult to work with. I should have ordered his in the first place.

Also, it took almost two months for the GFC ones to arrive. No idea why they have such a slow production on these items.

Thanks @Jtc ! Funny enough, GFC has raised the price of their covers; They are no longer at ~$12. Appreciate your business and feedback!

Thanks @dmg5000 ! Appreciate the business and feedback. Seems like a lot of people are finding the GFC ones to be pretty stiff unfortunately.

I’d assume most of their focus is on camper production and the margin on the covers aren’t worth spending a lot of time on to them.

I bought the GFC ones thinking you had somehow started selling your design through them. It seems like they “borrowed” your design and tried to undercut you. I just placed an order for 6 of yours @Buhlockaye can’t wait to get them.

I would offer this input, on my last trip with 4 other GFC’s, I have blakes covers and one of other guys had the GFC covers. We had some cold nights and in the morning the GFC covers wouldn’t even close because they’re too stiff. I had zero issues with mine.

Now imagine if the weather was freezing, the GFC covers would be useless. I’ve had blakes covers through the winter with zero issues.

Can attest to Blake’s working well below freezing. Like -30 degrees and they still worked. Funny enough the latches worked down to -50 but the little strap that attaches the cover snapped so I just put the latch covers on until I could get them replaced and they stayed on no problem :joy:

Blake then sent me an arctic version and they’ve been great since.

I’ve been sending out the “Arctic” version (larger hinge) to everyone for quite some time now so can’t wait to see how they do this winter for ya! And for the 99% of us that don’t see that temp, they’ll be perfect :joy:
