So, after searching thingiverse for a while, I couldnt find a hinge that suited my needs. Im making a printer enclosure for my TEVO tarantula and I needed small hinges for the plexiglass front door, but the local hardware store only has 1 size (too large) and they cost about 3-4 euros per pair! These ones cost me about 0.5 per pair on material!
So, after printing a couple of prototypes, I finally settled with these ones.
hinge_l is the loose half, so the one rotating around the axle.
hinge_t is the tight half, which 'holds' the axle. Keep in mind that the hole for the axle might be a little bit too tight or loose depending on your printer settings.
Note that the parts need to be rotated (the chamfered side is down) and I used supports for the one overhanging part.
For me, it works like a charm!
