Known issue with these side cases - hinge costs around $8 and tend to break easily. So why not print them?

Currently testing if this can work - will update which material and settings work for me.
Since these hinges are breaking easily I thought, that printed part might be stronger, as that was my experience with GoPro mounting parts.
Not responsible for random cargo ejection via hinge failure, etc…
Update 1 : Okay, so PET-G KINDA works - since I printed the bending part with original dimensions it uses two walls in the middle, and bending it breaks one of them, but second one still holds up quite well. If you need this hinge immediately this could work for few trips. Possibly printing this hinge with bigger than 0.4mm nozzle could fix that breaking issue. Or make it worse. I don't know yet. Meanwhile I found out that OEM hinge is made out of polypropylene - will order some soon and test it too.
Update 2 : currently printing this part with PP filament - as this material is extremely annoying this might take some time
