I just printed my set, (one piece top and btm). I really really really like the flip over hinge. It's so great!. Also the built in support for the latch nibs are great! easy to remove and I don't have to think about setting it up in slicer.

There are two small complain I have. One is the rear inside lip of the lid will likely catch on the bins lip when closing it. I have to aim it right or retry a few times to get it in. I think this is a result of the flip-over hinge giving extra degree of freedom. Not sure how would this be solved, but some chamfer along the rear inside edge (bit that mate with boxes) might help.

My big fat screw driver and electric driver is having a hard time screwing the hinge in at an angle, cuz the box itself is in the way. So I would love to see some change in the screw hole for the hinge to be inserted from outside. Or have screw go in from both left and right (two screw instead of one per joint).
I notice you did a great job at getting the tolerance on the screw hole correct so the screw can be pushed in for most of the way. If changing the way things are inserted, the tolerance might need to change and result in a completely new sets of parts.

@Whitehawk Did you ever get to make the change for the issue with the inside lip?
Or how much of a problem is this really?

I'm asking because I'm considering printing this.

@Rolf_727254 It is not really a problem. It can be sometimes just a little bit annoying.
But you are lucky i just made the change and will upload the files as soon as possible. I hope it will make closing the lid more comfortable.

I like the idea of this but I have already printed the base and lid. Description says still compatible with original except for hinge so I think I can still use this hinge but please confirm.
Also would be good to show pictures of the back where the hinges are as well as showing it opening and flipped under since that is what the remix is. Most pics are showing the same box as original or you walls which I like but would be better as their own remix as they are very different.
Either way great design.

@Whitehawk No need to be huffy. I'm just letting you know it wasn't clear. You do have a typo in that sentence and is grammatically incorrect, so it was a little confusing. Currently, the description says:

"...beside of the hinge mechanism."

That's not very clear. It sounds like you're saying it's compatible next to the hinge. For clarity, you might want to consider changing it to say:

"This box is compatible with the original design by Pred, except for the hinge mechanism."

For full clarity, it would rewrite it to:

"This box will stack with the original design by Pred and is compatible with the original latches. Due to the new hinge design, you will have to reprint the base, lid, and hinges."

@VulGerrity Here in my country we have a phrase: " As you call into the forest, so it echoes out".
If you would have written: "This "HINGE" is in no way compatible with the original." Then you would have been right. But i never wrote that. An now i think you made a typo in that sentence. ;-)

Next time just suggest the change of the expression (because grammatically everything was correct). But just complaining about something, that does not even stand there in the way you interpreted it, usually gets this reaction.

But now i thank you for the newly made suggestion on changing the expression and i will consider to change it, so that everyone will be able to recognize, that the new flat hinge does not fit on the original parts, but the boxes continue to do so.

easy print. would have made the inserts a bit wider as AAA batteries sometimes go sideways and fall through

Found this after I printed the original and all my rechargeable batteries would not fit. Thanks for the file!

Just fyi, this is for boxes with the side at 145.4mm. My box looks similar but that dimension is shorter.

WOW what an amazing design. Everything fits perfectly and precisely. Not only it's functional it's also beautiful design. I cannot wait for your upcoming models for this mini PC. (edited)
