Hinge for old camping fridge

prusaprinters

<p>I have an old Electrolux RC1600 camping fridge. The fridge is probably 30+ years old but was still working fine. Except for the hinges, they have been broken for almost 20 years. With the power of 3D printing I created a new hinge. The first iterations had the hinge pin included but this turned out to weak.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:50%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/295568/rich_content/cecc4053-8a09-4c16-a6aa-162606d25d27/a43ccbe1-a3a4-4925-b019-761781319e4e.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%225a059b22-a44a-444e-af53-04bea6129fe0%22%2C%22w%22%3A885%2C%22h%22%3A784%7D"></figure><p>In the last iteration I just created a hole for a 6mm steel rod and this has been working perfectly. This steel rod threads through the entire lid to the other hinge.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:50%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/295568/rich_content/4cede414-f97b-4e51-bcfe-4cfd5fa57997/img_3823.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22707200ad-50f7-4def-85ee-f878375c00e0%22%2C%22w%22%3A2016%2C%22h%22%3A1512%7D"></figure><p>Printed with PETG and it's holding up fine, I might do a new version in ASA if this one ever fails me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
