"3D Print Technology Hinges"
Designed by Ridwan S ( https://www.instagram.com/ridwan.sept/ )

Modeled with SolidWorks 2014
Rendered & Animated with KeyShot 5
File Types : .SLDPRT, .IGS, .OBJ, .STL.
Vertices : 11960
Polygons : 23932

I designed this model for https://grabcad.com/challenges/make-the-unmakeable-challenge-2

I want to create something that combines of several concepts:
- Simple and functional
- Used by almost all people in the world.
- Having proper function.
- Uses 3D Printing technology to facilitate the production process, and I want to change mainset community about 3D printing from prototyping into mass production process.
- Fixed value the essence of the hinge.
- One assembly 3D Printed directly (like many winners in first challenge)

After I see about flexible 3D Printing polyjet material in this link :

Another link about flexible material use for living hinge:

I'm inspired to create universal and commonly hinges model with 3D Printing material.

For the main Hinge Profile (Grey Color) I use ABS material or some recommended 3D Print material which have good strength
For the Flexible Support Compponent (Black Color) I use flexbile material like material in the link above.

Specification :
60mm x 30mm x 6mm with 2mm thickness for Main Hinge.
0.2 mm for gap between Main Hinge and Support Flexible Material.

Another adventages :
With rounded shape in Flexible Support Material inside, this hinge are not only can rotate in their main axis. This hinges have three axis for rotation.
