The OEM latch ( DD81-01629A / DD81-02132A ) on our dishwasher failed not that long after buying it. It lasted maybe a year - the design of the whole mechanism is bad because it's way too sensitive to the exact geometry of the part. Rather than buying a replacment unit for $90 at the time I printed the original un-reinforced thingiverse version out of CF-Nylon shortly after and that lasted another 1.5 years till partial failure and 1 year 10 months until complete failure. Here is what it looked like before installing in February 2021:

This is what it looked like when we removed it last month December 2022:

This time around I decided to reprint this chunkier version by Jason Lavoie. Jason decided to try and make it work with PLA+ via thickening up certain features but I decided to use PC-Blend this time around. He just included the STL so I added a custom support in the 3mf on my re-upload here.
