Travoca Rigel Fridge Lid Wedges

I have a Travoca Rigel 25 fridge and use it while off-roading.  The hinges on the lid are made of metal (good) but have lots of loose tolerance to make it super easy to open and close the lid.  While off-roading or just driving on non-smooth roads I could hear rattling from the back of my car and it was the lid.  These wedges just help keep the lid in place so it doesn't have anywhere to move.  It keeps things silent.

Installation

These wedges do have a "flat" side that should be put against the cooler.  Look for the side where the hole has tapered edges (to help you slide it onto the hinge pin).  There are A and B sides, which are just mirror images of each other.  One A and B wedge on each side.  You might even get away with doing just one side so the other side still freely opens/closed without any additional friction, but I prefer it on both.

NOTE: If these provide too much or too little friction, then resize the X-axis thickness slightly (+- 0.05mm or 0.10mm) to adjust.  I have no idea how much variance there is in each cooler.

Printing

• PETG worked well for me

• 0.20mm layers; 0.40mm nozzle

• 2 perimeters

• enable brim for better adhesion

• 0% infill (it doesn't need it)

• I used classic perimeter generator, not Arachne, so the perimeters get a nice clean consistent thickness.
