Full credit: this remix is based on a Brigham Young University Compliant Mechanisms Research (BYU_CMR) Group design posted on Thingiverse. Check out their user page on Thingiverse for other great compliant mechanisms.
I remixed the design to simplify the unnecessary structure and reduce the print materials needed. This design has less interference in the hinging action. It prints great in PLA on a well-calibrated printer. The two pieces are identical and snap together.
