<p>I was so grateful to find that grdesign had already done all of the “heavy-lifting” to design this model. &nbsp;(see original at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4893737/files)</p><p>The only problem I had with the original version was that the hinge piece was flat on one side and wider than stock. &nbsp;It made the part easy to print without supports, but I needed the arm to pivot toward the rounded side in my application. &nbsp;</p><p>Since the stock piece is symmetrical, I also figured somebody might appreciate it if this one was, too. &nbsp;All I did was split the model in ½, keep and mirror the half with the rounded pivot piece and then merge those two halves together.</p><p>These were my PLA print settings:</p><ul><li>0.20mm layer height</li><li>0.42mm line width</li><li>4 walls (printed from inside to out)</li><li>4 top/bottom layers</li><li>100% infill, to ensure maximum strength when loaded with a full 1Kg spool</li><li>High-end of filament printing temperature range, to make strong layer bonds</li><li>100% cooling fan</li><li>Normal support, everywhere (pushes out easily from pivot hole &amp; bayonet fitting.)</li><li>35mm/s first layer speed</li><li>* 200mm/s infill speed</li><li>* 100mm/s support and wall speed</li></ul><p>&nbsp;(*using Klipper)</p>
