I wanted to use the hinges here:- http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1187867 but after printing the two halves, I couldn't get them to mate together properly, because they were way to tight. So I modified the original STL file, to make a thinner hinge.
So you need to print 1 hinge half from the link above, and then print 1 of mine. They will then fit together correctly, but be smooth enough to work.
Partly done using Onshape and then on TinkerCAD, because free CAD packages don't seem to be able to do everything. Between the two, the changes could be made.
I've rotated the STL file so that the large base is now on the bottom. No supports were required on my printer (the overhangs print just fine).
Because I use the .STL file (that was all that was available at the time), there is a small artifact at the top that I had to file off slightly. Other than this, all should be good.
