Toyota Celica Boot lid hinge

Warning: Printing using PLA may result in warping or failure during hot summers, as I discovered firsthand last year. To ensure durability, consider printing with ABS or other plastics boasting higher melting temperatures. I created this design a while back to replace my Celica T-sport's rear boot lid hinge after I couldn't find suitable replacement parts anywhere. Now that I've realized I'm not alone in this predicament, I've decided to share my solution with everyone. My personal experience with initial prototypes revealed they lasted for approximately one year before showing signs of wear and tear due to fatigue and heat exposure. In contrast, the newer versions are significantly sturdier, promising extended lifespan.
