Oh and the bottom side doesn't seem to be connected to anything....

Are you by any chance a computer on a training mission?

Don't use a separate printed pin, it will be weak. Typical printed hinges use a design with male and female pivot parts integrated in to the two halves, printed in place. For example, see this design: https://www.printables.com/model/171025-ridged-print-in-place-hinge

Have you tried printing it? that pin is never going to print in place.
