Broken HP Envy 17 hinge

[Goopsie]

There's nothing to say anymore
Thousands of people have had this problem, yet hp does nothing to help.
It's broken to the point where i have to hold up the screen out of fear of the screen falling out.
I've 3d printed some braces, they don't hold up that well.
What the **** HP? Did you not test these hinges? What do i do now? Even if i bought and replaced the top/bottom case, i'd be out quite a bit of money. And even then, it wouldn't fix the problem! The hinges would just break the case after a few months, If i loosened the tension on the hinges, it'd just close while using. This is unacceptable! It's like HP planned the hinges to fail.
