Bistable-to-Monostable Magnetic Hinge
thingiverse
As the name implies, the bistable-to-monostable hinge is derived from a bistable hinge termed the "simple bistable" hinge (ASME IDETC publication will be posted soon). This hinge belongs to the group of hinges capable of folding 180 degrees with a bias back to the deployed state. The hinge is particularly well-suited to the split-vertex method (link below).
