🛠️ Assembly (Filament Hinge)

This design uses a 1.75mm filament pin for the hinges:

1. Align the holes on the sides of the case and the plaque.
2. Slide a short length of 1.75mm filament (PLA or PETG works best) through the holes to act as the hinge pin.
3. Pro Tip: Use a lighter or a 3D pen to slightly melt the ends of the filament pin to "mushroom" them, locking the hinge permanently in place.
