Summary
A replacement hinge for the Brookstone iConvert USB turntable.
Two styles are provided.
One (FixedHinge.stl) is not really a hinge, but rather a holder for the lid as it rests on the base of the turntable. It is then lifted straight up and off the turntable. No additional hardware is required to secure the lid in place.
The second is a two piece hinge assembly consisting of the LowerHinge.stl and UpperHinge.stl. Connect the two pieces together using a M3x30mm bolt which is used as the hinge pivot. The hinge opens the lid just beyond vertical where it will stand open.

Notes:
Carefully remove support material from 3mm hole in upper section to keep hinge tolerance.
I used gray filament for this example, and as you can see, black would be a better match.
This filament required a lot of adjustments to produce an acceptable quality. The flow rate was reduced to 95%, temperature raised to 225, bed temperature at 60 and then dropping to 45, fan at 25% and filament diameter set at 1.65. There are much easier filaments to work with, this is not meant as a critique, simply my quality observations. Your mileage may vary.

Clean-up
Remove supports - some cleanup of the 3mm hole is likely. Assemble the two pieces similar to original. Using black PLA will better match existing case. Close attention to tolerance is needed to obtain a secure insertion into the base so the lid does not bounce when opened.
