3D Print - Hinge Fix Part (Original Screws)

3D printing template for replacing the original hinge mounts on the 520c.


3D Print - Clutch Cover Clips

If you have a 520c, chances are that the clutch cover under the LCD has broken clips. Here's some new ones you can print!

Do not use the hinge fix part itself from this link though. It is missing a couple of cutouts for some structuring, which is why I linked Action Retro's modified version instead. The replacement clips are fine though!
