plastic tool box hinges
working on reducing the resistance at the moment tool box distorts when trying to close need more flex going to try printing something like a piano hinge and running a thin steel rod to hold the 2 sections together Nick

plastic tool box hinges
A suburb response Thank you all It looks like the hinge is made from a single material I can't tell from the pictures how rigid the material is? It looks like it has a degree of flex? Im thinking of using pla and then merging tpu for the hinge. I guess one could go for years never having to open the box so as long as it holds together to be fitted it should be ok!! Thank you all again for your help Ill let you know how I get on Nick
