DOES NOT FIT THE K1 MAX

I really liked the idea of having 270° door hinges on the K1 so I am now making my own. I decided to make them pretty hefty. So far it has great fitment and its pretty solid. I know they're a bit bulky but I'm okay with it as long as they're not flapping around when opening or closing.

I will continue testing and making changes to better the design.

 

  • 4x m3 heat inserts or 4x m3 hex nuts 
  • 2x m3x8mm (one for top, one for bottom bracket)
  • 5x m3x12mm (door arms & door latch)
  • 4x m3x15mm (if using hex nuts for door backplate)
  • 2x m3x16mm (one for top, one for bottom bracket)
  • 2x m3x40mm or m3x50mm
  • rubber inserts from stock hinges (to center the glass panel on arms properly; see pics)

 

Recommended settings: 0.2 layer height, 4 walls, 4 bottom/top, 25%+ infill (50% minimum for door arms to prevent wobble)

Door latch: 0.2 layer height, 2 walls, 3 bottom/top, 10% infill (needs to be flexible)

 

If you decide to use other length of screws, please note that the bottom screw on the top bracket, if too long, it could contact the belt. Please do not use a screw longer than 8mm.
