Concealed 180º Hinge - print in place

thingiverse

This is a concealed hinge. It swings open 180 degrees with a clearance radius of 14mm, allowing for use on panels up to 14mm thickness. I'm using it for a 12mm ply box. The print is in place with tolerances around 0.3mm. During the print process, the piece with the slider at the top tends to stick but can be freed by wiggling it. To dislodge it, apply force along the groove when pushing it free. After all parts were loose, I lubricated the grooves with lithium grease. While it may seem straightforward, this is a challenging print due to tight tolerances and complex overlap between sliders and grooves. Increasing tolerances would result in parts that are too loose once finished. To succeed, ensure your printer is well-calibrated and accurate before attempting this project.
