I will not create a detailed guide to building and printing this assembly though I included files of the full assembly to understand how it goes together. The assembly doesn't include hardware as well. You will need the following supplies: -A lot of filament -3mm Pins (https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Lathe-Round-Solid-Length/dp/B07KY8GK5W/ref=sr_1_26?dchild=1&keywords=3mm+pins&qid=1609438073&sr=8-26) -0.5 x 4 x 15mm Compression Springs (https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Compression-Springs-15mm/dp/B07RRYCDGD/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3K7DOPXDOX0UK&dchild=1&keywords=stainless+steel+compression+springs+20+pcs+0.5+x+4+x+15mm&qid=1609438169&sprefix=0.5+x+4+x+15mm+%2Caps%2C150&sr=8-1) -0.5 x 5 x 15mm Compression Springs https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Compression-Springs-15mm/dp/B07RSZTYXC/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=stainless+steel+compression+springs+20+pcs+0.5+x+5+x+15mm&qid=1609438242&sr=8-2 -Torsional Spring(I used other springs but this looks like it might work but not sure) McMaster Part Number 9271K83 -Heat Inserts McMaster Part Number 93365A122 -Screws for Inserts McMaster Part Number 91099A155 I would recommend making the Cantilevered Hinge Strut out of 1/8" thick metal, though you might be able to print that part. I would also recommend using a resin printer for the Lid Door Buttons and Catch, along with the Main Lid Latch Button. After the pins are cut to length and installed they are held into place by plugging the backend of the pin holes with plastic from a 3d pen. As with almost all designs it is not finished and could use some minor revisions. The following are the only revisions I feel would make the product better: -Hard to plug usb connectors- solution open the side similar to how the power and display cables are routed. -The handle is abnormally wide and could potentially be cut down from the Base Side to make it more ergonomic. -Add a hard stop to the lid. https://youtu.be/jov0U50ALow
