I've realized it's called a "swivel". For thumbnail sake, I'll keep calling it a "hinge". Ooops!

How to install

3D printing

THE FRONT AND BACK HINGES AREN'T THE SAME!
The back hinges are ~5.8mm (the “pole”) and the front are ~6.1mm.

You need two sets!

One pair (back,front) of hinges is enough for one cup! If you need to replace the hinges on both cups, you'll have to print two pairs.

Disassemble your cups

  1. You'll have to remove the ear cushion.

    1. Alpha S has a protective layer of fabric on top of the driver/screws, you should be able just lift it off. Don't peel it, as you risk damaging the drivers!

  2. Unscrew the lid w/ the speaker.

  3. On the sides are the hinges, now you can replace them

  4. To assemble just follow this list backwards.

    1. You may or may not need to squish the top “nudge” of the 3D printed hinge, depending on the built quality of the headset.

  5. Rinse and repeat for both cups.

Does it work for Cloud 2, 3?

No. I have Cloud 2 as a back up, and those hinges are different AND there's already a replacement model for it. As for Cloud 3, IDK.
