hrvoje et al,

just spent an hour or so using pyopenscad and some other bits and
pieces i've used in the past, to make a 3D CAD/CAM version of the
hinge barrel:

the code's here:

i've only done the inner one so far, the outer one is next, followed
by a random rendition of the chinese bit-down-the-middle which of
course will change the look somewhat as there will need to be lock-in
points in the hinge barrels.

i *think* the other part can extend the flat bit so as to make it look
like it's flush, and like a proper hinge, without interfering with the
cable.

anyway, thoughts appreciated.
