Print in Place Hinge in Fusion 360 

I love how that hinge popped off the spring steel and folded right up without any need to "coax" it. You really have that Prusa Mini dialed in!

Nice video! The Z-shaped line 2:26 is a very effective solution as it both separates the hinge parts and keeps thing vertically centered... neat!

The stand on our baby monitor broke so I've been playing around with the idea of printing a case for it that would act as a stand with a print in place hinge but thought it would be way too hard. You have made this look so simple and do-able. Thanks! I'm going to give it a go.

That was an amazing approach! Maybe it's just me, but I was shocked that the press/pull operation created that rounded edge to match the "to" object. I mean it makes sense, but for some reason I wasn't expecting it to behave that way. Anyway, very nicely done... as always 👍

Thanks very much - you teached me most of my fusion 360 skills. 😊

This was a great tutorial! Solidworks is all I've really used the last few years so this was a great example to show the layout and application of tools in fusion. I definitely need to print some print in place tests and dial in my printer and slicer settings too.

Very handy tutorial. I needed to do a print-in-place hinge and didn't realize how easy it would be. Your tutorial is perfect and makes total sense.

This was great! I'm trying to design my first print in place assembly, and this provided a lot of useful info. Thanks for sharing!

Great tutorial, I used to to create some hinges myself :) Straight and to the point. Thank you!

You seem to know the best approach to take to make the design flow easy. Maybe that comes with experience. I end up having way to many sketches in my design but I guess that doesn't hurt anything.

This thing is absolutely amazing!!!! It saved my coursework!!!!

That was very cool tutorial and easy to follow. Going to have to try it out. Any tips on making a hinge that only opens partially - meaning doesn't fold all the way back?

Good Video. Since the gap isn't defined, you could have a pre video making a print test of gap settings. That way with one print people could determine what their printers can get away with. My printer gets stuck between .1 and .15 so I will use Fusion (and your method) to do a test 1.2 to 2.4 with 7 segments, like a fidget spinner and a hex key center to break them free. Thanks

Excellent video, good pace, lots of new info for me.

Amazing tutorial, thank you so much

Thank you very much for this video. Very helpful!

Clever project and great video.

Merci pour cette réalisation étant débutant de Fusion 360 j'ai pu réaliser mon premier support encore merci. Dommage que je sais pas réaliser un style de Voronoi avec cura

Really nice idea

Excellent video as always.

I couldn't get it working for my 45 degree angel hinge project...just can't find a way to print it. I did apply it to another project though and made the entire hinge scalable. There are parameters for hinge length and diameter, and number of hinges. You put in these 3 params and the whole hinge scales. Couldn't have done it without this video though! This one, to teach this kind of hinges, and another one that teaches about parameters and a different type of hinges. It's amazing how much you can learn online, college is becoming far less useful.

thank you straight to the point

Great video! Again!

How does the hinge stay in place ? Awesome Design ( sorry new to 3D printing )

Thanks for sharing!

great soulotion. thanks

When I tried to dimension the line in Sketch 2 that's sitting on the x axis, I got a popup about over-dimensioning. My constraints are the same.

Does anyone know if Solidworks can do that thing with limiting the extrusion around another object?

Nice!

O sht that's gonna be a stronger hinge than the one I'm using. My current hinge is bridging a thin cylinder through the middle. It's stronger than expected but I think this one will be stronger

Cool

Does this need to be printed flat? I’m thinking this won’t work if printed vertically (hinge is column that goes upwards). Did you ever try to print vertically to see what happens?

Very nice video. I have two questions: 1. How do I export both bodies to Cura as an STL file so as to print them intertwined in one go. 2. How do I suppress the top and bottom layers so as to disclose the attractive infill.

Is there a way to do this where it only opens 90 degrees? I have created one but I have to put a metal bar in the hinge. Print in place seems to use bridging and has to be printed wide open (180 degrees) and I can't figure out how to design my 90 degree open item using print in place, any advice would be very helpful!

What happens to the overhang of the shaft?

The hinge is 7mm. The sides are 3mm, not half of 7mm. That threw me because I thought the extruded sides were tangent to the hinge. They are not. When I thought about it the sides need to be thiner than half of the hinge so it can close all the way.

was curious to see how you make the filling of the sides :( sadly u don't show.

Just so you know RU-vid is defaulting to 360p and as such the text in dialog boxes and menus are blurry. Still watchable, though.
