Wanhao D4S Hinge Replacement

thingiverse

A replacement hinge for the Wanhaos Duplicator 4s printer can be created using this design. The new hinge should also work with the standard 4 and 4x models, although it has not been thoroughly tested. The purpose of this hinge is to prevent the door from closing too far, thereby avoiding entry into the printer's interior. This design modification also allows for a slightly different opening angle, which helps keep the door open. However, this alteration results in the door staying partially ajar. To counteract this issue, additional locking components have been included that can be secured with an M5 bolt as a replacement for the standard mid-level bolts on the printer's outer casing. To install the hinge, you will need to use an M6 bolt to connect the individual parts together. The design requires printing two regular pieces and two mirror-image pieces. These four components will be assembled in pairs: the regular parts fit together, while the mirrored pieces combine as well. For optimal print quality, it is recommended to orient the printed parts according to render 2. Printer Settings: - Printer Model: Wanhaos D4s - Resolution: A resolution of 0.2mm yields good results. - Infill Density: The infill density does not significantly impact the outcome; however, using a higher percentage (such as 35%) can provide additional strength to the printed parts.
