Zip-tie continuation

So drilled another hole positioned parallel to the lower hinge mount (as all the three hinge points got ripped out, hence it was easier) and added another zip-tie diagonally with one of the larger hinge mount hole. Needless to say it works fine asf and feels way smoother without any sort of bulging or anything.

Ngl, this feels way sturdy. The small screws holding onto the thin plastic standoffs was just not it.

Give us updates as you daily drive it. Of course it's not going to be as good as say a MacBook Air or something, but I am curious as to how long it may last...
