GBA SP Himge Removal Tool

This is a tool I designed to help with the removal of the Game Boy Advance SP hinges. I made a video of the operation but, in words, you have to print this (as oriented) and then insert it into the opened hinge of the SP. It should lower all four tabs simultaneously when pushed and then apply pressure via the center peg to push the intact hinge out the side. From here you can replace the hinge covers and install the hinges in your new shell.

Here is how the tool is used: https://youtu.be/wZjhYxQeKxU

edit 2020-06-18: I recreated the tool in fusion (originally made in tinkercad) and uploaded the files for that. It should be functionally identical though I did tweak a few dimensions (not critical ones though) for aesthetics and ease of design. I uploaded .f3d and .step files as well for the new model. Old model is only available in .stl and .obj (which I can upload upon request).
