window hinge replacement part

thingiverse

A colleague of mine broke a part on his Lorenove window but could not find it as a spare. I reverse-engineered it the old way : using a caliper to get the measurement. In fact I tried the hype scan 3D method but failed (it was my first try, but sure not the last one). Printed in PLA but it is very weak. So I had a go with ABS, it was a first try too. I was quite disapointing to see it fail at 80% of the height. Next try will be to print it NOT flat on the bed. I hope to prevent it from breaking along the natural weakness of the part with the layers and the shape not paralell. I gave him a PLA part and he broke it when checking whether it was strong enough :-( He glued and taped it and now his window is working again :-) Yes !!
