Found a few parts were sticking even after sanding and it was shifting to the side easily on the cardboard carry box I made.

  1. Beveled areas that looked to need it. For looks, clearance, and easier grip when opening
  2. Added alignment notch for boxes with weaker hinges (like mine)
  3. Beefed up area around arm that looked weak when using 3mm pin.
  4. Extended arm by .25mm, a little too tight for my liking, although a thinner pin may work too

    Post-Printing

    Sanded all areas that made contact, drilled out inner holes for better swing, and used a metal 3mm rod for pins (cut and filed to fit).

    How I Designed This

    Imported into blender, replaced a few subdivided surfaces with whole ones, then segmented to create bevels where needed.
