Glacier Bay Soft-Close Removable Toilet Seat Connector

thingiverse

********Upadate********** 3/11/23 I added the v4 file Tweaked some measurements and added the stem at the bottom. This fits in the hole on the toilet and helps keep the piece from sliding around. I printed with 15% support. This is for a Glacier Bay Removable Soft Close Toilet Seat that I bought at a Home Depot. I don't know if this brand is sold other places. The first picture shows what the pieces look like when the seat has been removed. The second picture shows what the seat looks like attached to the toilet. The third picture shows how the caps to the hinge can be rotated to remove the seat for cleaning underneath it. The last two are just closeups of this printed piece that the hinges attach to which secures the hinges and seat to the bowl. After a year or two, the original plastic piece that allows the seat to connect disintegrated from the cleaners. I searched online at the Glacier Bay and Home Depot websites and in the HD store to find replacements. I couldn't find them anywhere. I wasn't going to buy another seat for $50 to replace a little plastic piece that failed, so I made my own for probably 5 cents each. *****NOTE***** You will have to buy the plastic bolts and nuts that most toilet seats use to connect to the bowl. I got them at HD for less than $2.00 each, I think. The head of the bolt is 1/2" in diameter.
