Two Piece Hinge, No Pin Necessary - Unbreakable Printing this two piece hinge in Taulman Nylon Alloy 910 assumes that it will come out unbroken. The fact that it prints fully assembled adds to its reliability. Printing settings also play a crucial role. When it comes to printing rafts, resolution and infill rates matter less. But for supports and resolution specifically, you should consider the following settings: yes for supports and .2mm for resolution. Note that the latch portion requires support as it prints 2 mm above the bed. Simplify 3D software makes it easier to apply a 10% support for this specific requirement. This hinge also prints perfectly with Taulman Nylon Alloy 910, the easiest and toughest nylon available without fiberglass. But be careful of print temp and bed temp when using E3D v6 extruder. Other extruders might allow lower print temps while keeping the bed temperature at 65c is necessary. Nylons from other brands can work too but there's no guarantee against warping. PET would also work fine in this regard. However, keep in mind that using Taulman Nylon results in a virtually unbreakable hinge even under severe use. Pulling screws won't cause it to break at any rate.
