Description
Motivation
One metal holder for the lid of a toiles seat broke, so only one side of the lid was supported.
As all the other parts were still in fairly good condition, I decided to give it a try to design a spare part.
Print
Printed with Prusament PETG (mango).
The part attached is for the right hinge.
No supports required.
I recommend using a tough material like PETG, PC or Nylon, as the closing lid imposes strong force on the hinge.
Real Life Experiences
As the Toilet lid damper only acts on the right hinge, thus creating strong forces on the hinge, the hinge has quite some elastic deformation while closing.
I therefore designed a reinforced version of the right hinge (WC_Lid_HingeUpper_right_v03_reinforced.stl) which is somewhat stronger now.
Practical tests show satisfactory results.
