A Nintendo DS has a hinge that's supposed to open just the right amount and stop. In order to go further and open it all the way or to close it, you have to actually push or pull on it. Gravity alone can't pull the top screen out of place. It's like a car door that stops at a few angles rather than swinging wildly.
The hinge broke on the DS my brother gave me after years of good use, meaning it began just swinging freely rather than stopping at the sweet spot. It would cost a lot more to repair it than to get a new DS, which would only be around $40 since it's an old system. If I wanted a replacement I'd probably just get a newer system, and I wasn't even sure I wanted a replacement since I should probably play fewer games anyway.
However, the idea struck me that I could use this as an opportunity for invention. Rather than repair the DS, I could create a clip that would hold the DS open at the correct angle. I had some experience with a 3D printer but only printing decorative tr
