Print In Place Hinge (Customisable)

thingiverse

I really liked the hinges designed by rohingosling (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2187167) but I really don't like using OpenSCAD. So I decided to remodel the hinge in Onshape. This project is designed to enable people to customise hinges without having to install software but I have included the STEP files if you prefer modelling in a different software and a sample STL file (the ones I used for my resin printer enclosure) to get you started. **Directions** To customise the hinge all you have to do is: - Make an Onshape account for free if you haven't already - Click on the link below - Click the blue "Make a copy to edit" button - Change the variables to customise the hinge - Select Male A & Female A in the parts tab (or Male B & Female B if you prefer the design) and then right-click the highlighted parts and click export - Choose STL for the format, millimetres for the units, fine for the resolution and download for the options. - Click the "OK" button and save it in your downloads folder. **Notes** - You may need to adjust the leaf tolerance and the pin tolerance to suit your printer and the smaller the layer height the better the hinge will work. - You can always add a bit of machine oil to make it turn smoother - The cutaway variable enables the hinge to rotate back on itself so that the smallest angle is less than 90 degrees. Make this 0 if you don't want that Link to the Onshape document: https://bit.ly/2ZNjRve If you have any questions please comment and if enough people have similar questions or issues I might make a video running through it.
