After cracking the main hinge on our Shark Flexology vacuum and ordering a replacement, I realised that maximum stress is placed on the hinge when unlocking it from the folded position. If you don't release the hinge before trying to unfold, there's a potential for the hinge casing to split. So I decided to mitigate this by extending the existing bumper to stop the hinge from fully locking closed.
Printed using Overture TPU with 0.4mm nozzle and supports with a 20% infill.
