Hinge repair for Technics SL-D2, SL-Q33, SL-BD20,...

This is a fix for the dust covers of many Technics turntables (check out the list below), which have 2 clips at the back that fit into the black hinges. These clips often wear out and break off easily. Gluing them doesn't work. This repair requires you to cut the clip and the triangular supports all the way off. Use tape to protect your cover from scratches. I used a small jigsaw to cut off the remaining clip, and then trimmed the rest off with a Dremel tool and a sharp knife. Take your time! You need to drill two 5.5 or 6mm holes in your cover after printing the parts, and use the printed parts as guides. Use a wood drill for this job; it works really well. Pre-drilling with a 1mm drill speeds things up. PRINT IT ON ITS SMALLEST SIDE (check out the picture of the printing process) so that the hinge clip is floating in mid-air. Use supports. Use 4 perimeters. This gives the strongest result. I used PETG, which is strong and relatively easy to work with. I also used a brim at first since PETG can sometimes stick to your nozzle and knock your part off the heatbed. But I don't do that anymore. You will need 4 bolts and 4 nuts. All must be 5mm. My bolts are 16mm long. Enjoy, let me know how it works for you and post your make! I'd really appreciate it!
