Hi everyone,
I created a 3D Model of a box with a lid, which is attached to the box by a hinge.
Both parts should be printed at once, creating an interlocking.
Here's a little picture of the way I want the hinge to look like. (I pulled the green part out a little so you can see it better)
The Material thickness is 1mm, and there is a gap of 0.3mm between the hinged elements.
However, I'm not sure, if this way of joining the parts, will eventually work, since the gap might not be wide enough to release any filling material.
So here are my questions:
- Does anyone have an experience with a hinge like the one above. Will it work.
- From you experience. What's the best way of printing a hinge.
Thanks
Karl
P.S.: Material wise I haven't descided yet. Probably silver, bronze and / or hard plastic
