About this print
This print in place geared hinge is a mechanical joint that uses interacting gears to coordinate its movement. It is typically used by hobbyists and makers when testing mechanisms, building prototypes or incorporating controlled hinged motion into a larger printed project. As a print in place model, its moving sections are produced together, so correct clearances during printing are important. PLA is a sensible material for an initial print because it is rigid and reproduces gear details accurately.

Printing Print in Place Geared Hinge
For Print in Place Geared Hinge we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material?
