The secrets to successfully printing a Print in place model (PIP) revealed!

Lots of people have had problems with printing these kinds of models, and I have as well. There are so many settings on a printer which impact the final product, there are also design details that impact the parts quite a bit as well. We'll review the most important parts of both to come up with a design that will print well even on poorly tuned 3d Printers.

The model we design is a fairly simple hinge which fixes a common problem on the Coleman Coolers. The hinge requires no supports, it has proper bridging, nice clearances, and it is free as soon as it is removed from the buildplate.

As mentioned in video:

Thanks for the video! There are surprisingly few videos about both designing and printing print-in-place models :)

Excellent video, I have just been through the riggers of designing a print in place hinge for a propagator I’m designing. I wanted something that worked straight off the plate with no binding. It took a while to get right. It now works straight off with a 0.4 nozzle and only needs a little snap then works grate with a 0.8. I put it on a little box and put it on makers world as my first model just to see if I can get some feedback before I finish my propagator and post it.

Very good informational video, thank you.

The teardrop hole design significantly weakens the part by increasing "notching effect" this is not a good idea. I designed my own print in place hinges and printed them vertically instead with a round shaft, layer orientation is not optimal but runout is great and I used PETG so layer bond is pretty good.

Elephant foot is slicer/printer issue and should be eliminated there not in the model.
