Door hanging Guide / Assistant

Description:

A rather simple and fast printed guide rail to rehinge/hang in doors back into their place.
This door hinges seem to be a rather “oldschool” design concept, although around here they are still broadly used in all shapes and sizes along indoor doors, wood furniture and so on.

Problem usually is, it is rather hard to align both (or more) hinges nicely at the same time, to lower the door down onto the pins.
Slightly annoying on a single door - but nerve (and possibly finger) wrecking in bulks - while doing a bigger renovation or move.

So after  some quick brainstorming this design was coming together in about 40 minutes.
Which also is around the same time it takes to print one of them.

Usage:

Print it, slide the Guide onto the fixed pin hinge on the door frame.
“carefully” lift the door roughly in place and put the door side hinges into the guide rail.
Basicaly it should align the hinges more or less "perfectly" to each other. Now just carefully lower the door into place.
Finaly remove the guide by pushing it back up from the pin side, prior to closing the door - obviously.

i added the process in some quick mobile pictures above, and took the oppertunity to clean and lubricate some hinges, while i'm at it - for concept proofing. ;-)

Printing:

The thing is rather uncomplicated to get printed settings and material wize.
I'd suggest:

• PLA or PETG
• >0.6mm botom
• >1.2mm walls
• 0% infill

If needed you may easily resize in your slicer, for example if you need a smaller version, or maybe the slot isn't wide enough.
Default is 15mm thick, 30mm wide, 80mm height, 20mm guide width ("bore"), 12mm cut out
