How to and Print Tips

The part should already be oriented in the correct direction for slicing, but if not, orient it as below with the "cone" ends of the hinge facing towards the top (water nation symbol closest to the bedplate).

You will also want to turn on "Don't slow down outer walls" in Orcaslicer/Bambu Studio or "Consistent surface" with Prusaslicer to prevent surface texture changes with fast printers.

PLA works great for this print, though other materials should work as long as your printer is dialed in for them. This works best on beds that are 125mm and 170mm or taller- Unfortunately this will not fit a stock Voron V0, but most other printers can work.  Default settings for most printers work well, for my prints I use a 0.4mm nozzle, 2 walls, and 5 top and bottom layers. Then, simply slice and print!

Once printed, just work the hinges. You will feel resistance and a small 'pop' as the internal supports break loose, but hinge action should be smooth after this. Put in your polish and enjoy!

Tips for success: I tried to make this as simple as possible to print, but your printer should be well-calibrated beforehand due to the nature of the hinges and embossed details. Poorly calibrated printers may have issues with the hinge smoothness and how well the embossed details show up. Your printer should have been calibrated for input shaping, pressure advance and flow ratio where possible. Optionally, you can also try to dial in bridging behavior, but in practice I haven't found this to be necessary.
