Single- and bi-fold print-in-place hinge generator

This OpenSCAD library module can be used to construct various types and sizes of print-in-place single- and bi-fold hinges.

See the online documentation of parameters for more information.

Dependencies

To use this design, the following one-time setup is required. This will install several packages, so you may wish to experiment on a virtual machine first. (NOTE: an X server graphics environment is required and this build process has been tested on debian and ubuntu Linux).

$ wget http://git.io/setup-omdl.bash && chmod +x setup-omdl.bash

$ ./setup-omdl.bash --branch v0.9.8 --no-excludes --yes --local-toolchain --install

This will take a while to test the omdl library, build its documentation, and compile the design-flow automation tools. Once complete, the library documentation will have been installed and can be viewed with the web browser of your choice:

$ google-chrome ${HOME}/.local/share/OpenSCAD/docs/html/index.html

Examples

After downloading the examples zip file, they can be reproduced as follows:

$ unzip ZIP_FILE_NAME.zip -d examples

$ cd examples

$ make clean

$ make all

The output will be located in the build subdirectory. Help can be obtained from the project makefile with:

$ make help

NOTE: This is a snapshot release of a part in omdl. Feel free to use the version here, but the most current and maintained version can be found in the source repository.
