A demonstration of a “print in place” parametric modeled seven joint ball and socket hinge.

The hinge design incorporates seven ball and socket hinge joints in order to support print in place 3D printing with no supports, thus the hinge is printed fully assembled.
I designed the Autodesk Fusion 360 CAD model for this hinge to provide the end user with the ability to alter the height, width, thickness, tolerance, hole sizes and joint diameter of the hinge. As these parameters are altered, Autodesk Fusion 360 immediately rebuilds the hinge model, ready for 3D printing.
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
