This is not an original idea. For information go on history go here
- m3x12
- Only tested against LDO extrusions, if you're using something else the pins may need to be adjusted (let me know how)
- Print parts (do test prints to ensure you're happy with the fit before going wild)
- Assemble to correct orientation
- Insert two short filament lengths connecting middle hinge to hinge body, one from each side
- Insert one long filament length connecting middle hinge to outer hinge
- The filaments are a tight-ish fit on the hinge arms but loose in the pivot intentionally
- Connect to frame using with an m3 nut or similar with an m3x12 screw
- @Ingstronmentalist requested a handle to open the latches, so if you're having difficulty opening the latches print one of those too
Choose a size based on your panel and foam thickness. Always do a test print before assuming the size will work for you.
NewLatch-v0.1-TopHat-?.?mm.stl - used for the perimiter at the top of the side panels to create clearance for the top hat
NewLatch-v0.1-TopRear-?.?mm.stl - used for the top latches on the electronics panel
NewLatch-v0.1-?.?mm.stl - used everywhere else
