I left .025" dia clearance between pin and hole and had to use a nail file on the pin to make it a little more round, and an exacto on the hole to clean up the entrance a little but it snapped in nicely and works great. I attached a picture from solidworks with one piece transparent hopefully it shows a little better.]]>https://www.soliforum.com/user/78/2012-09-05T16:55:08Zhttps://www.soliforum.com/post/1010/#p1010<![CDATA[Re: Hinge points]]>Can't seem to post urls yet. But for a simple clip design that you might be able to use for a bag clip see thingverse thing:15371. For a more complex clip design see thingverse thing:5580.]]>https://www.soliforum.com/user/87/2012-09-02T23:19:00Zhttps://www.soliforum.com/post/946/#p946<![CDATA[Re: Hinge points]]>I would think that might be do-able.
I know there are some flexible things that do work okay.
You might not get something that can bend 180 degrees, but some bend should work.

Would be a good test.]]>https://www.soliforum.com/user/2/2012-09-02T22:07:42Zhttps://www.soliforum.com/post/943/#p943<![CDATA[Re: Hinge points]]>yeh, i was not thinking it through anyway, its a 3d printer .. print hinge pins and sockets like the cable chain guide or similar.]]>https://www.soliforum.com/user/30/2012-08-31T06:45:59Zhttps://www.soliforum.com/post/882/#p882<![CDATA[Re: Hinge points]]>I saw some hinges on thingiverse, but not like what you're talking about... ABS would break for sure]]>https://www.soliforum.com/user/50/2012-08-29T00:28:13Zhttps://www.soliforum.com/post/839/#p839<![CDATA[Hinge points]]>Still waiting for a printer here but I was wondering if anyone has printed anything with a defined flexible area to create a hinge between 2 seperate parts on a model. I assume ABS would be too brittle and crack, not sure though. I was considering perhaps a slot that could have part of a cable tie laid in and then have printing continue over the top hopefully capturing the tie solidly.]]>https://www.soliforum.com/user/30/2012-08-29T00:03:02Zhttps://www.soliforum.com/post/838/#p838
