This insert is easier to print, and easier to use. The hinges have been modified slightly to allow more clearance between the hardware and the glass, as I found them rubbing together slightly in some test prints while testing other modifications. Countersunk screws are now no longer needed.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe old profile remains for posterity, but the instructions below have been updated to use the new version of the hardware. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-------\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe door on the Snapmaker U1 doesn't open much further than 90 degrees by default, and I wanted less restrictive access, so I put together this 180-degree door hinge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt uses compression-style fittings to hold the glass door to the hinge and has a stopper to prevent the door opening wide enough to hit side mounted spools.
