This is exactly what the title implies - a hinge for the top of a standard 1 gallon paint can. I got the idea directly from this part (http://www.youtube.com/v/DjCPS6FD7RM?version=3&start=57&end=83&autoplay=0&hl=en_US&rel=0) of a tips and tricks video by Jimmy DiResta. He uses it for a can of Bondo body filler, but I thought that I might be able to make a printable version for a standard paint can. It is used to easily open and close the paint can without touching the lid (to avoid messy hands) The largest part is just under 9 x 4 x 1 centimeters, so it should be able to print easily on most printers. The hole in the hinge is sized to fit a 1/4 inch bolt.
All credit goes to the ingenious Jimmy DiResta for the design idea.
