Description
Matthew's Modern Gridfinity Case design is fantastic, but I find that it takes up a lot of desk space when hinged fully open. This simple mod replaces the hinge pieces with new ones that limit the travel to approximately 100 degrees.
I never had any need for the mouse ears on the original files, so these don't have them. If needed you can always add them in your slicer. I printed with 4 perimeters and 100% infill, because the parts are so small it doesn't really add significant print time or material.
Functionally they install the same, although I highly recommend installing the hinges on to the case first. Otherwise there is much less room to get the filament in since the lid is in the way. The modified hinges stick up a bit more but the case still sits flat on the back.
