# GearHinge
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GearHinge is an openscad model of a geared hinge. This was developed as part
|
|
|
|
|
of another project, but stands on its own as a part that could be re-used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is designed to be printed in place and without support materials. Gears

|
|
|
should be rotated into the case for printing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Printing is very sensitive to options, and slicing should be inspected to
|
|
|
|
|
ensure parts have not been connected internally.

## Requirements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This model uses the PolyGear library https://github.com/dpellegr/PolyGear
|
|
|
|
|
in order to generate gears and slice them up.

## usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```openscad
|
|
|
|
|
include <GearHinge.scad>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$incolor = true;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gear_hinge(rot=rot, box=false, rounded_case=true);
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Status/Known Issues
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Under development, not ready for the unadventurous.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Arms have no mounting holes for general use.
|
|
|
|
|
2. No functions/workflow exists for attaching arms to anything else.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Module is 1.45; it should be parametric. Hard coded values must go.
|
|
|
|
|
4. Cannot be assembled or disassembled; must be printed in place.
|
|
|
|
|
5. Helix angle can only do a single "turn". Should be re-written to use sin.
