Nintendo DS hinge

thingiverse

These models allow for repair of a broken hinge on the original Nintendo DS. Be warned: a lot of sanding may be required, as the fit is quite tight. "HingeKey" is the main model. It's the hinge with a 3mm key on the bottom. Drilling a 3mm wide hole in the shell allows the key to be snug and makes for better glueing. "HingeKeyless" is the same as HingeKey, just without the key. This model doesn't need any drilling in the shell, though that means it might be less sturdy overall once attached. "HingeKeyDrillHelper" serves as a mock-up hinge with a 3mm wide vertical hole put through it. Drilling the shell it made easier since it places the hole exactly down the middle below the hinge.
