Small hinge

thingiverse

So, after searching thingiverse for a while, I couldnt find a hinge that suited my needs. Im making a printer enclosure for my TEVO tarantula and I needed small hinges for the plexiglass front door, but the local hardware store only has 1 size (too large) and they cost about 3-4 euros per pair! These ones cost me about 0.5 per pair on material! So, after printing a couple of prototypes, I finally settled with these ones. hinge_l is the loose half, so the one rotating around the axle. hinge_t is the tight half, which 'holds' the axle. Keep in mind that the hole for the axle might be a little bit too tight or loose depending on your printer settings. Note that the parts need to be rotated (the chamfered side is down) and I used supports for the one overhanging part. For me, it works like a charm! -will upload pictures soon- Print Settings Printer: TEVO tarantula Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 20%
