Hinges 360°

A collection of 15 different all purpose, ready-to-print, print-in-place 360° hinges from pretty small 30 x 20 mm (1.2 x 0.8") to pretty big 100 x 50 mm (3.9 x 2").

My usual concept: needed one, designed many, thought I should share. :-)

They are surprisingly strong and come in fifteen sizes, all in 360°. This means that they can be opened to a full 360° (as compared to most metal hinges, which open to either 180° or 270°). This is mainly to complement my collection of 180° or 270°, which I published a few weeks ago.

PRINTING. They are all print-in-place, so this should be an extremely simple (and fast) print. You should not need any supports or plate adhesion. Print-in-place simply means that you only need to print a single piece (rather than 4 pieces and a rod) and that it does not require any assembling. Print in 0.1 mm (for me 0.2 with adaptive layers also works) resolution with 50%+ infill (on any moderately well calibrated printer).

• Since strength is important I print all mine using a cheap, strong, and easy to print Carbon Fiber PLA but any strong filament (that does no stringing) will do.
• They look real good in Silk Silver, Copper, or Gold, but may not be as strong.

SIZES.These are the sizes currently included (size is width across both parts x height, all in 360°, all 5 mm thick:

• 100 x 50 mm (3.9 x 2")
• 100 x 40 mm (3.9 x 1.6")
• 80 x 50 mm (3.1 x 2")
• 80 x 40 mm (3.1 x 1.6")
• 60 x 50 mm (2.4 x 2")
• 60 x 40 mm (2.4 x 1.6")
• 60 x 30 mm (2.4 x 1.2")
• 60 x 20 mm (2.4 x 0.8")
• 40 x 50 mm (1.6 x 2")
• 40 x 40 mm (1.6 x 1.6")
• 40 x 30 mm (1.6 x 1.2")
• 40 x 20 mm (1.6 x 0.8")
• 30 x 40 mm (1.2 x 1.6")
• 30 x 30 mm (1.2 x 1.2")
• 30 x 20 mm (1.2 x 0.8")

In case 360° is a little more than you want. My collection of 180° and 270° hinges can be found here:
