RFT HK PA 1203 /1205 /2203 / 2205 Cover reinforcements

thingiverse

All mentioned models have problems with broken hinges on the lid with mostly ugly adhesive solutions that often no longer allow the removal of the lid. With the printed reinforcements (one of which to be mirrored) you have more adhesive surface, the lid remains removable. With a screwdriver or multitool, the remaining parts of the hinge holder must be removed beforehand. ---Update: 30.4.2020: The previous objects were not wide enough, but slightly too accurate. Especially when for example the first layer is a bit wider - grating (scrape!) , gives a gap between the lid side and reinforcement. As a result, the inner side of the reinforcement protrudes into the tonearm way and prevents the end shutdown of the record player. If this happens, you can fix it at the end contact of the tonearm shaft, it only involves up to half a millimeter. Anyway, I have deleted the STLs and re-played them, the reinforcements are now 1.5 mm narrower. <b>Does not apply to the hinge rest - file, which must be built in very accurately or scaled by one mm narrower on an axis in the slicer.</b> After learning about non-manifold-edges there's a corrected version with mirrored STL. Due to request "What do you do if your hinge is not completely broken yet: The breakage pattern is unfortunately quite individual. Most of what I've seen have broken away from the inside, so you could possibly fill in the noses of the RFT1203Haubenhalter_Reste_m.stl, you might need to polish the noses a bit beforehand. In my opinion, it's still more elegant to simply remove the remaining parts. It looks better too.
