Studio VFLAT folding screen hinge

<p>I made some sturdy VFLATs for my photo studio from thick Styrofoam boards and 3d printed parts without using any tape – LOL. They came out great!<br><br>The folding screen hinges are for 30mm thick Styrofoam boards. Thinner Styrofoam boards with 2 meters in length would be too wobbly. And yes the d=4mm x 40mm long wood screws hold pretty well in “quality” foam boards. I did a test prior to starting this project and was surprised how well they hold. I also use 5 screws on each side of the hinge in case I'm a little rough with the VFLATs.<br><br>White styrofoam boards 2000x1000x30mm<br>Black matte, acrylic water based paint<br>Paint roller<br>Woodscrews d=4mm x 40mm<br>3D printed folding screen hinges<br>3D printed corner protectors<br>Pieces of 1.75mm filament as shaft<br><br>All infos and many more pics on my blog:<br><a href="https://www.schweinert.com/diy-studio-vflats/">https://www.schweinert.com/diy-studio-vflats/</a><br><br>UPDATE:&nbsp;<br>2022-02-28 I just added a version for 1 inch (25,4mm) thick Styrofoam boards for our American friends ;-) Happy printing!<br>&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/2gMWBy6ntPI"></oembed></figure><p><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/141147/rich_content/3ec3f92a-a6fc-43fb-9c39-68782827c0eb/studio_vflats_028.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%220997231e-63d1-4e2d-999f-021faa6adcb4%22%2C%22w%22%3A1280%2C%22h%22%3A720%7D"></p>
