The printed hinges were provided with a tube that was supposed to distribute the downward force evenly between both hinges.
To to minimize friction leave your best space between the tubes bearing grease to apply.
This has the added advantage that the 2 hinges are held together because a vacuum is created inside the tubes when you press both hinges together.
To print hinges successfully, the preparatory work starts even before you start the design.
Tolerances you can do the best create as a parameter and then call them up in the model.
If an adjustment is still necessary, you should only change 1 size.
I found that the best tolerance 0.2 mm is for snap and click systems.
If the component rotates around a screw or other component, it is best to use a tolerance of 0.3 mm.
The 0.1mm really is a world of difference when it comes to 3d printing.
Our solid modeling services use advanced CAD tools to create accurate and detailed 3D models for your 3D printing projects.
We design and 3D print custom items such as:
promotional gifts & awards, keychains & promotional gadgets, advertising models & product displays, technical & creative scale models with intricate workmanship, creative branding and more.
