Missing piece in stl files? Are Hinge1.stl and Hinge2.stl supposed to be identical?

[tallzilla]

Hi there - two (perhaps related) questions.

1) I'm starting to print out the STL files, and I can't seem to tell where circled part in your YouTube video is from.

It appears to be a hinge, plus some other plate with two screw holes that I can't find in the STL files. I can see that there are two screw holes in a similar location in Bottom.STL, but there isn't the plate visible in the YouTube video.

2) Hinge1.STL and Hinge2.STL appear to be identical. I printed them out and I can't tell the difference between the two of them. Is this on purpose? Part of me was wondering if one of these Hinge files was meant to be the part I can't appear in the above question.

Thanks! Images for 1 below

I can't find this in the STL files, comparing them to your from YouTube video

Here is Bottom.STL, doesn't appear to match the YouTube video

Hello!

The hinges are identical, yeah. Just some weird naming conventions from the designer i think.

And whoops -- I think i was missing the plate you are referring to, I will add it and re-upload this week. There is a piece that sits to cover the usb cable being threaded up to the top case area, which makes it look a bit cleaner

Okay, thanks. So, you have to glue the hinges to the dispay housing?

Refer to http://penkesu.computer

The gameboy hinges are glued in to place, the 3d printed covers are just laid on top without glue

Here's an updated zip file with the more recent STL files I used in the videos. It includes the cover piece for hiding the cable, and it uses an earlier version of the display panel without the supports (which weren't used anyway) and makes it easier to stuff things in the display housing area.
