Description
Update - April 14th
--Added support material
--Options to print vertical or horizontal (though I don't think horizontal will work very well)
Customizable hinge that prints all at once! You will have to break it free at first.
Warning: Hinge does not come apart like many others! (unless it's only got 2 joints)
More to come!
--Plans to have half-hinge and removable pin options. These will allow you to use the scad to include the hinges as part of your own creations!

I wonder if this would print better upright or flat.. Starting to think upright would cause less difficulty in breaking it free and would cause a better working hinge with lower possible tolerance.
