First, I really hope you like the design and find it useful. If you feel like tipping, rather than hitting the "Tip Designer" button, PLEASE donate to
UKRAINE (or any other people in need). There is a cold winter ahead and these people will need any help they can get (and they will need it a lot more than I do)! THANKS!!
UPDATE 26Mar21. If 270° isn't enough for you, I have just uploaded a full set of
360° hinges. Happy printing!

Hinges
A collection of
34 different all purpose, ready-to-print, print-in-place hinges from 30 x 20 mm (1.2 x 0.8") to 100 x 50 mm (3.9 x 2").
They are surprisingly strong and come in
thirteen sizes and in two flavors, 180° and 270°. This means that they can either be opened to a maximum angle of 180° or 270°, depending on what you need them for (it may come handy when the hinge stops at 180° but sometimes you may need the full 270° - also see the image above). Actually I just needed a few hinges for a woodworking project and was just too lazy to adapt some existing design - ended up making a few more and thought it might be worth sharing. :-)
PRINTING. This should be an extremely simple (and fast) print. You should not need any supports or plate adhesion. Print-in-place simply means that you only need to print a single piece (rather than 2 pieces and a rod) and that it does not require any assembling. Print in 0.1 mm (for me 0.2 with adaptive layers also works) resolution with 50%+ infill (on any moderately well calibrated printer).
- I print all mine using some
cheap, strong, and easy to print Carbon Fiber PLA but any strong filament (that does no stringing) will do.
- They also look real good in
Silk Silver or Gold, but may not be as strong.
SIZES.These are the sizes currently included (size is width across both parts x height, all in 180° and 270° - they are all 4 mm thick, except for the x30 mm hinges, which are available in 3 and 4 mm):
- 100 x 50 mm (3.9 x 2")
- 100 x 40 mm (3.9 x 1.6")
- 80 x 50 mm (3.1 x 2")
- 80 x 40 mm (3.1 x 1.6")
- 60 x 50 mm (2.4 x 2")
- 60 x 40 mm (2.4 x 1.6")
- 40 x 40 mm (1.6 x 1.6")
- 40 x 30 mm (1.6 x 1.2") (in 3 and 4 mm)
- 36 x 30 mm (1.4 x 1.2") (in 3 and 4 mm)
- 30 x 30 mm (1.2 x 1.2") (in 3 and 4 mm)
- 24 x 30 mm (0.9 x 1.2") (in 3 and 4 mm)
- 40 x 20 mm (1.6 x 0.8")
- 30 x 20 mm (1.2 x 0.8")
PS.: The 30 mm hinges (## x 30 mm) are available 3 AND 4 mm thick. The 3 mm hinges work well but are considerably more fragile, so if you are having issues with stability, try the same size in 4 mm.
HOPE YOU LIKE THEM, AND IF YOU LIKE THEM, PLEASE LIKE THEM. THANKS!
Happy printing!
UPDATE 21Mar21. I have just added a full set of the 30 mm hinges in 4 mm thickness (previously only available 3 mm).
UPDATE 12Mar21. Upon request I have just added another four XS hinges: 40 x 20 mm (1.6 x 0.8") and 30 x 20 mm (1.2 x 0.8") in 180 and 270°. These are really cute and work extremely well.
Happy printing!
