Description
I loved the tophat design by 93djen but the inner hinges kept breaking and they were attached to the spacer which is quite a big print in one piece.
To overcome this, I made them separate pieces which can be printed laid flat so the stress is not on the layer lines to improve strength. I also added a small amount of material to make them slightly stronger.
The hinge pieces screw into the back of the spacer using some heat inserts. I recommend drilling them to size because I left the holes on the small size.
I also had problems with the original not closing flush, so I added 1.5mm extra clearance which seems to be just enough for some foam to sit between.
