Quick print glasses for New Year's 2022!
Primary new thing here is the filament hinge inspired by one of the shutter shade remixes. The original openscad design was really good but the snap-fit arms were very fragile. I used blender for some booleans then did manual reinforcement of the hinge portion. Turned out nice. See diagram for remix info.
Use small segment of 1.75 mm filament for the hinge; heat with soldering iron or similar to solidify. You can use a 2mm drill bit if the holes are a bit snug. They are modeled at 2mm so it just depends on your printer. See diagram for soldering illustration.
PLA is fine if you are gentle but the hinge is stronger with HTPLA/PETG etc. If you have the textured bed you may want to use that so the surface finish is nicer.
