Hinges for a mosquito net/screen. You can probably use them for other things.

If you find this useful or entertaining enough, tips are welcome. :)

Notes:

+Hinge may require a small brim on some printers for better bed adhesion.

+There is no functional difference between hinge and hinge_fancy, hinge_fancy is just an inside joke for those that get it.

+Pegs have been printed separately, in halves horizontally, so to be stronger/not snap along layer lines.

+Print the pieces with the orientation shown in pictures.

+No glue should be needed.

Once printed, 2 pegs joined should fit quite tight inside one hinge, I pressed them down against a hard surface (table) until they bottomed out, then sanded down the layer lines of the pegs a little with P320, it should rotate with relative ease after 5 twists of sand paper. Note: I wanted a bit of resistance/not swing freely so that the wind will not slam the net back and forth should it be forgotten open, sand them however you like.

I printed them piece by piece because I was around and would result in a cleaner look.

You can print them all at once but will probably require a bit more post process for the stringing.

Print was at 0.2mm layer height, seam set to random. You can set the seam however you want, it didn't matter to me as I'd never see the hinges once installed.
