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

reverse engineering a solution isn't as easy as just a few pictures. we would basically need physical access to replicate the critical dimensions and then feed it into something, print the test fit pieces and double checking fit before coming to a final design.

you're unlikely to find an .stl beause basically every laptop is going to be different. This really is something you need to design yourself.
