Hewlett-Packard OmniBook Hinge Fix

Hewlett Packard Omnibook Hinge Fix

Created as a simple "fix" for the 90s Omnibooks using a very bad hinge design, consisting of a strip of metal connected to the display and a rotating metal piece.

Please note that the fixv2_fixed.obj file is the one which is fully manifold and watertight, and the other two are provided purely for your own use and testing etc.

To install:
1/ Take out screws holding display and hinge together, flip laptop over
2/ Open up the lifting feet at the back and remove the screw under it - the hinge block should come off
3/ There will be a screw on the bottom of the hinge block, take it out, remove the metal bit and undo the hex nut slightly to make the hinge block looser
4/ Put this part back together
5/ 3D Print your hinge supports|
6/ Find yourself a nut and screw which fits through all of the holes and grounding hooks
7/ Put the plastic part on the OUTSIDE of the hinge, T shape (for support) facing up and put through your nuts and bolts, havi
