# Glue-in Hinge Design Tries Something Different

**[Hackaday](https://daily.dev/sources/hackaday)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A glue-in filament hinge design for 3D printed projects that splits the hinge into a separately printed u-shaped piece, allowing each part to be printed in its optimal orientation. A 1.75mm filament segment serves as a captive hinge pin after assembly. The design is provided in STEP format for easy CAD modification, with notes on incorporating it via boolean operations in tools like FreeCAD.
