Honestly, a print-in-place hinge is a bit of a parlour trick. For a hinge to be durable, you need a good pin. A hinge with a metal pin can be had for a few dollars, and this hinge has a plastic pin. There is something to be said for being able to produce a custom hinge at a moment's notice, though. So there's that.
The printed hinge takes #4 wood screws with countersunk heads. If you are using this hinge for something that needs more than a #4 wood screw give your head a shake. Seriously. If your life depends on this hinge, put the printing time to good use and get your affairs in order.
To understand the parameters for this customizer, you will need to understand [hinge terminology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinge#Hinge_Terminology).
