Greedie - Better Hinges

thingiverse

This is a remix of "Greedie, The Treasure Chest Mimic" by decay3d. I was unsatisfied with the hinges on the original, as two prints had their hinges break almost the moment I handed them to my niece and nephew.I used a 52% scaled-down version of "small hinge for 20x20 aluminium profile" by super_laserkatz to have a more robust hinge, and created false bolt heads to attach to them. The bolts for the hinges were scaled to 50% of the original, to allow for smooth movement without binding. Even so, you may need to scale it down to 45-48% depending on how precise your printer is.I also shrunk the teeth down to 98% of their original size, as I was unable to get them to fit without using a Dremel. This likely has to do with some elephant footing with my printer, but I found this to be the most reliable solution.I very strongly suggest to print the top half of the box upside-down using tree supports, otherwise the entire bottom of the print will be covered in supports which can be very difficult to remove.Please excuse the terrible paint job - I am most definitely not an artist.
