K1MAX 180 deg door hinge [factory clean]

Are you tired of your door not opening enough and all other hinges look BULKY. Me too, so I designed towards something that looks factory fresh, like it should have been.

You'll need to take the decorative trim from the edge of the glass using a scraper. The residue didn't come off, even with GooGone. This was the same on both of my K1MAX printers. I ended up leaving it as is because the new trim will cover it up.

The top hinge will use the existing screws in the frame. The bottom hinge will use 2 of the existing screws in the frame, but you will need to drill and tap a hole for an m3 thread. The bottom hinge will be used as a drill template (see pics). It's really easy to drill and tap. drill size for an m3 is 2.5mm drill bit (0.098" imperial), just take your time.

The top and bottom hinge on the frame requires brass m3 brass heat-set inserts each (qty.2 total for these) and a m3x45mm socket head cap screw for the hinge pin.

The top and bottom piece that is mounted to the glass will two brass heat-set inserts each (qty.4 total for these). You will reuse the screws and plastic spacer/washers for protecting the glass.

The middle strip will require a thin adhesive tap.

I printed all of my parts in a matte black PLA. The long screws that acts like a hinge pin and the fasteners secure this very well -- like it should have come from the factory.
