Description
I drew up this replacement hinge for fixing Sherwood record player, turntable and was surprised how well it works.
Mine was printed with hotter settings (PLA) to get good strong interlayer bonding, best printed on side for strength with supports everywhere. Use good amount of infill like 70% for strength.
The prototypes withstood a lot of force to get the hinge pin in and they didn't break so plenty strong enough to do the job.
To fit:
Push the pin out of the existing hinge using a screwdriver, be careful not to loose the spring loaded stay inside the hinge or the silver cap to the spring loaded piston as you take it apart. Put new printed hinge in its place and push pin back through.
