A printed snap lock replaces the latches

Since last week the leg dock went through three new versions, plus one proposal that was not built. The current one, V83, holds a leg with two printed spring bolts, and every face of the body carries the same dock. The PLA parts of one leg and one body face are printed; the springs have not arrived, so the lock itself is still untested.
