Rotation Pin Connectors

thingiverse

I'm making both SketchUp and .stl files available so users can add pin-snap rotatable components to their designs. These designs were motivated by Three Cube Gears at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:213946. The pin hole parts are designed as embedded pieces in rectangular prisms, but the intention is for the user to insert the prisms into any slot on a part. To prepare the slots, the prism walls simply need to be removed and the part needs to be sealed against water intrusion. For size reference, the prisms measure 10 mm x 10 mm x 15 mm and fit the pin as it is. The user can scale all components equally for larger or smaller profiles. You may need to increase the pin's dimensions by 5% if your pin holes are printed horizontally.
