Thin Magnetic Top Cover Frame - Hinge mod

I really like the Thin Magnetic Top Cover Frame for Core One. Nonetheless, I wanted to have a hinge and share it here. Please refer to the original model for assembly instructions of the frame.

Additional hardware needed:

• M3x8 screw - 6 pcs

• M3x30 screw - 2 pcs

• M3 lock nut - 4pcs - Use the lock nuts to

  • mount the body hinge to the steel sheet

  • connect the two hinges with the M3x30 screws (put the lock nuts into the recesses in the body hinge)

• M3 square nut 5.5 x 5.5 x 1.8 - 4pcs - Use the square nuts to

  • mount the frame hinge to the frame

  • mount the handles to the frame

The square nuts are the ones that come with the Core One kit. I just used the spare parts. You can also source them at a hardware store. To make the square nuts fit flush into the frame I had to modify the frame and slightly enlarge the recesses for the rivets. Furthermore, I had to move the rivet holes by 0.5mm to fit the Core One's hole distance of 210mm to prevent the hinge from bending the corners of the cover upwards.
