My fish tank lid pivots on a very small, rather fragile hinge.
After a couple of years, one of the hinges broke. I ran down to the petstore to buy a part to fix this, and you guessed it - it's no longer available in that size - I'd have to buy something far more expensive, and scrap a ton of stuff to repair a tiny little part.
Enter 3d printing.
I grabbed my calipers and hacked something together in Fusion360. After 3 revisions - I've got something that works, and is entirely function
