Compact Build without sliding hinge
thingiverse
I created this to solve a problem I had with my printer, the sliding hinges kept breaking free from the build plate during printing. They have a small footprint and it takes very little force to knock them loose. Even just the nozzle putting down another layer can be enough in my case. Changing the print orientation so they have a larger more stable contact area isn't a good option as because of the change in direction of layer lines weak points would be created right where they're under the most stress during use. So I print the bulk of the parts with this layout and print the hinges separately with a raft. With this technique, I was able to print 16 hinges at once with no problem. The "sliding hinge" part along with video instructions for assembly can be found in jakejake's original thing. 8/16/2018: Edited for accuracy of name of additional part needed.
