Stable Hinge !upright printable!

thingiverse

Some time ago I was looking for a nice hinge to finish the encasing of my printer. Thanks to J-Max I found a nice hinge. It was easy to print and a lot stronger than the versions lying down. But I have to admit that I was a little disappointed by the huge tolerances. As a result, the door hangs down badly. So I tried to create a better hinge and soon found out about the problem. The layers were sticking together without mercy. But after some time I came up with a solution which should be easy to reproduce and may be good for other projects too. I used this technique already in my holder for (Japanese) knifes. Pro: You can print more than 70 of them at the same time if you are crazy :D (Prusa MK3s) They are very stable. even with tolerances of about 0,2 mm You can fix it in many positions with 10 possible 3 mm wood screws (or others) They have a great turn radius One hinge prints under one hour (Prusa Slic3r: 0,2 mm Quality standard settings) No supports or special tricks needed to print the hinge. (Contra:) Not as strong as the Perfect Hinge by J-MAX. But they are much thinner! However, since you would use metal hinges for heavy-duty use anyway, this is not particularly bad. I first designed this hinge to wait for your feedback. If it goes down well, I can construct more. Or you do that, -) Looking forward to your reactions! Have fun and keep printin! // New Version J-Strong. Not that small and versatile but STRONGER :D Print with 4 Perimeters to unleash its full potential! 40x40 Hinge
