I had a bit of trouble with the lid, it was printing as one piece. Instead I used the lid from this model

Anyway, with this small remix it works perfectly!
Thanks
@Gumpfi_13733 Thanks you!
Update: I used your GCode and printed on my Prusa instead of my ender and it turned out great. I will also try your suggestions on my ender, thanks!
What's the trick to the swivel door? I've printed it twice and each time it prints as if it's all one piece. The GCode shows a gap between the door and the body of the lid as I would expect so it could move freely but when it comes out, it's all connected together. (edited)
@Madcamper If you are having problems with the union of those 2 parts, you can solve it in two different ways:
1. Divide the model into parts directly on your slicer (at least in PrusaSlicer you can just right clicking the object and selecting the "Split into parts" option) and print the swivel door separate from the lid, then you will have to flatten the lid a bit with your fingers to fit the door into its place.
2. Play with the values of the horizontal expansion of your slicer, in PrusaSlicer they are found in Print Settings > Advanced > XY Size Compensation, try reducing it on 0.05 steps until you get good results.
I hope this helps to solve your problem, if not, tell me what version you are trying to print and I'll upload an stl with a little more tolerance.
@Madcamper Nice result!
