I recently upgraded my Z Axis smooth rods to 10mm so I needed a new Z-axis shim for my 1/4" glass build plate.
I came up with this one.

Coming back to this - I made a new open hinge version that only lets go of the door 30 degrees from vertical. It also includes the slide to lock open feature, and won't pop off the hinge in that position.

I chose 30 degrees from vertical so that you can one-hand open the door through the whole part of the motion that wants to knock the door off the hinge. At 30 degrees, it needs your help to de-hinge.

Thank you Suds, outstanding! I printed in PLA @ .2mm and your new version of these hinges works perfectly. I absolutely love the slide to the right to lock in the open position.

Oh awesome. I'm glad this is working well for you.

Gotta love when you've got an idea, you cad it, share it, and you and like minded enthusiasts print out real deals in your respective man caves.
A bit campy, I know.

Don't laugh, but here are one of my favorite "ideas". I am always losing these damn things:

Yeah, campy. See box label on left. Maybe it has something to do with hinges...

I always get the biggest thrill after I have designed something and see people are making it then using it. Makes it worth the time I invested in designing something.

It occurred to me it just kinda flowed into that shape. Who says a simple shim can't look cool.

That was why I used the earlier versions, they looked great.
