  1. This is my initial design presented last week. The main intent of this hinge design is to reduce, or if possible, eliminate disassembly time. There is also a lock mechanism between adjacent panels.

  1. Bracket and screws, can be welded or not. The shape of the bracket can be changed to leave room between the panel and the chassis. Would be secure, not sure about weight/ease of assembly.
  2. Hinges held together with screws. Not sure about weight, could be too bulky. The manufacturing could be an issue. (Side note: the top part could probably just be one big piece, I just made half and reflected it).
