I have seen many print boxes with lid but not too many with hinges. So I have decided to design this small storage box and lid using hinges in Fusion 360.
My original design had a 3 mm steel dowel for the hinges. This simpler revision is using PLA filament instead of a steel dowel . So there is no need to get extra parts. I also added an undercut (snap feature) to keep the lid closed.
Everything fits perfectly. Thanks to my PRUSA printer MK3S who just had 100 days of printing time ( 2,400 hours).
Assembling instructions:
Put the lid on the box and drill 2 mm holes on both sides to enlarge hinge holes.
Then insert filament and add just one drop of CA glue.
Pull back the filament 3 mm to have the glue only in the box hinge shown in white
Repeat at the other end.
Let it dry and cut the extra filament on the outside on both ends
You are done!
