Pin hinge generator

Generate a print-in-place pin hinge (two interleaving leaves + pin)

A knuckle hinge whose two leaves interleave on a shared axis with a captive pin through every knuckle — it prints pre-assembled and articulates with nothing to snap together. The pin can be its own part, capped at each end inside a pocket, or grown into one leaf so the hinge arrives as two parts. Keep the leaf at least as thick as the barrel is wide, or it hangs above the plate. Download a print-ready STL or 3MF.
