This file creates two types of hinge to replace the original poor quality Catalac (Catamaran) hinges on the lockers that were made with thin ABS. One was a typical triangular hinge made for economy by using the same part twice but this left the hinge weak. The other style was the T style hinge which was a cleaner design but still poor strength and way too thin.
This is a very custom-izable generic hinge generator that also allows changes to the hinge elements by specifying the number of slots on the larger hinge (the one with a cylinder and pin hole on both ends). Clearances can also be set for both the radial and axial directions and the hinge body can be offset from the cylinder while retaining the original hole positions.
All the hole positions are calculated and verified.
My recommendation is to make the part stronger than the original by making it thicker. The webbing on this design is already stronger than the original but if you're going to make new hinges, why not make t
