Bobcat S185 Door Hinge

thingiverse

Disclaimer: I keep forgetting/mixing up the model numbers of our machine, which is an S185. When I first uploaded this, I was thinking it was an S195, hence the model file name. This may still fit an S195, as well as other models, but I don't have one to test. We were expecting a huge snowstorm over the weekend, and someone would have had to spend hours in our Bobcat skid-steer loader clearing snow. Wouldn't you know it, one of the plastic door hinges broke on Friday afternoon... No chance of getting one shipped before the storm. Out of desperation and curiosity, that night I took the broken hinge home, pulled out my calipers and hopped onto TinkerCAD. It took about an hour to design and just over two hours to print. It's lasted 8 days now, which is about 7 days, 23 hours longer than I figured it would. Edit: It lasted 23 days. Not bad since the plastic replacement ones we'd been ordering were lasting a max of six weeks for some reason.
