Most hinge listings are a fixed size. or require external sites/software for building like the popular OpenSCAD model listed here. Annoyingly they also didn't even have some samples to download, jeez.
The models provided here all come from HinGen, a generator I built that runs locally in your browser.
Generator:
Leaf width, length and thickness, with typed values allowed beyond the slider range
Knuckle count, clearance, and a fused pin or an empty shaft for a metal pin or bolt
Knuckle gussets (linear, circular or parabolic), with matching scoops in the opposite leaf so the hinge still closes flat
M2–M4 or custom screw holes, countersunk, counterbored or plain, with a drag-and-drop hole layout editor
Corner radius, and per-leaf or mirrored hole layouts
Preview swing a leaf yourself in the 3D view and export at that angle if you want to print standing up or something.
Settings update in the URL for sharing your exact hinge just by copying the link
Included files (leaf width × leaf length, in mm; the overall width is 2 × leaf width)
File | Leaf | Thickness | Holes |
|---|---|---|---|
hinge_10x15_t1.6_plain | 10 × 15 | 1.6 | none |
hinge_15x15_t2_M2 | 15 × 15 | 2 | 2 × M2 per leaf |
hinge_20x20_t2_M2 | 20 × 20 | 2 | 4 × M2 |
hinge_20x30_t2_M2 | 20 × 30 | 2 | 3 × M2 |
hinge_25x25_t2.4_M3 | 25 × 25 | 2.4 | 4 × M3 |
hinge_30x40_t2.5_M3 | 30 × 40 | 2.5 | 4 × M3 |
hinge_30x50_t2.5_M3 | 30 × 50 | 2.5 | 6 × M3 |
hinge_40x60_t3_M4 | 40 × 60 | 3 | 4 × M4 |
hinge_20x100_t2.5_M3 | 20 × 100 (piano style) | 2.5 | 4 × M3 |
All use 0.4 mm clearance, 1 mm linear gussets and countersunk holes. Print them flat as oriented, with no supports. If yours fuse, regenerate with more clearance

Inspired by Rohin Gosling's excellent Parametric Butt Hinge for OpenSCAD (Printables upload).
HinGen was built with help from Claude (Anthropic's AI). The design and testing are mine, including each hinge in the photos.
HinGen is a from-scratch rewrite for the browser, built on Manifold.
