T-slot Adjustable Angle Hinge

thingiverse

Design for an adjustable connector to fit two 1010 type T-slot rails together. Still at early WIP stage, so some other pieces may change. Most likely putting on some holes for nuts or bolts (needed) and an alternate hinge piece with an anchor base on it. Yes there's another hinge for T-slot rails, but if you look at it it seems to be for a different application. In this case it's setting the angle for T-slot rails end-to-end, which I think will be useful in other ways. The hinge itself will be held together with a nut & bolt and some washers, but they're not pictured in the current render. But the main idea here is to use commonly available T-slot rails as a base for an assembly jig. So this would allow you to set an angle for various parts, while inserts that go into the T-slots would hold various model parts together for assembly and gluing. (Focus on RC or model aircraft stuff.) That's going to be another project though. And if you like these kind of things and would like to see them keep coming, any little bit of spare change can help. Don't need much, but a little something. https://www.patreon.com/pauljs75 --- Edit --- Added an alternate spacer piece for the hinge. This part allows anchoring or supporting the hinge pivot upon another surface. --- Edit --- Revised hinge halves. Now with places for some nuts to insert, and a rounded end to guide in easier. --- Part Cross Reference --- Added a new thing. :) This is an adjustable jig stand piece that is made to mount to T-slot railing: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2722728 --- Edit --- Another revision. Same parts but should be to a different scale. (Hopefully) The Rev1 parts are still based off the imperial measures I referenced, but converted to mm. (So 2.54mm to fit a 1" sized rail.) Even if that's now correct, I can't guarantee what adjustments may be needed to get into tolerance - so they may require some finishing like light sanding.
