Description
Nothing new, just publishing separately the hinge module used in things 5750 5822 and 5859.
This is an OpenScad script that can be used to generate hinges for joining printed parts. The default values are set to be compatible with things 5750 5822 and 5859.
One useful addition is the option of pinning down the clips with extra plastic, which makes it print more reliably with raft-less settings.

Instructions
See the script for details. This is the comment on the horizontal hinge module :
hhinge : basic horizontal hinge piece
variable description
n : number of clips ( doubled )
space : width of and space between clips
clear : additional spacing between clips for clearance
r : radius of clip ( half the height )
l : length of that little square bit coming off the back for connecting hinge to objects
pin : if true, a small piece will be added at the bottom, which helps hold the hinge together while printing

This is great! Having standard components makes for me easily composable designs.
