I needed a hinge for a project I'm working on and realized that I'll probably need more someday. I figured why not parameterize it so I can easily crank out a different hinge if I need it?

This is my first attempt at printing interlocking parts on the Form 2. It's still a work in progress until I'm sure it prints well (and until I clean up the code a bit).

The default settings create a hinge with 4 sections, each section 10mm in length with an outer diameter of 5mm. The hinge pin is 2mm and there is at least 0.5mm of play between any adjacent parts.

Tweaking settings should lead to (hopefully) obvious results.

Keep in mind what your printer is capable of here. It's really easy to get a wall that's too thin or spacing between parts that's too tight for your printer.
