I want to slightly modify gregs accessible extruder to add a thicker hinge joint and was wondering if anyone has a link to a skp file.

Why not just import the STL?

Thanks Gary,

Don't know why I didn't think of that... Doh

Was looking into this as well. the hinge door on mine cracked at the bottom where the screw goes through.
Would be great if you can share it here once its done :-)

I just put a bolt through mine instead of using a screw

I also use a 3mm bolt but still have a problem with the hinge breaking.

I will try to modify the stl but in the meantime I have designed a filament guide to glue onto the standard hinge that seems to print out ok and is stronger. This is on thingiverse.

If the hinge printed on its side, the hinge would be a continuous bead around the hole but all the support would be a pain to clean up, still Might try this anyway.
