I’m trying to find a hinge cover for my hp 14-fq it seems like it would be an easy print without clips but I don’t have the skills to make it myself and am trying to find a model

    That might work but I have taken apart my fair share of laptops and I can tell you that many of them have asymmetrical hardware. So it might not work.

      I took a look at OP’s machine and it appears to be one of those deals with one big central hinge cover with upper and lower clamshell halves. So, we’re both sunk. It’s symmetrical in this case, but there is nothing to mirror. They will need to have an existing one (or all the bits and pieces of their busted one, maybe) to measure up and clone.

      But yes, I have also seen laptops where the left and right hinges and/or their covers are different from each other.

        I feel like it was mostly Asus and Lenovo I would see with like one beefy hinge and one litter stabilizer hinge. It’s been years though. Im sure most laptop manufacturers had some asymmetrical stuff.
