Parts:
-
Hinge-L-solid×2 · bin 11-door - M5×45 dowel pin ×2 · Clicky-Clack door kit
- small hammer · tool
Do: Tap an M5×45 dowel into each solid hinge half; it is meant to be a very tight fit. Stop when about 20 mm protrudes. Do not drive it flush.
Check
Both pins about 20 mm proud, both perpendicular to the hinge face, neither part split.
What you're looking at
Each door hinge is two printed halves: a solid half carrying a steel dowel pin, and a sleeve half that drops onto it. Leaving 20 mm of pin proud is what lets the whole door lift straight off its hinges.
Tip
an M3×20 screw's shoulder is a quick 20 mm gauge.
