They look like 35 / 45 / 55 latches, not the 65 / 67 type... and how much!!!???
This .stl (35 / 45 / 55) is free on Thingiverse: latches AND battery cover...

I was quoted £3.00 + £2.00 postage for printing it out...

I read this interesting post and checked out the sale links, I guess there is a typo on the printed latches' price, isn't it?

The price is for a set of 6 pieces, and note that the white ones are only $30, so $5/ea. but would look silly on an original HP machine. Often these prices can vary a little by color or finish, but this difference seems extreme.
Still, quite expensive IMHO, though I'm not sure why. Most of the other items in Nate's store are more reasonably priced, so perhaps there is something particularly difficult about making these parts?
