Hello,
could you please describe the application in more details? I assume that you warm that thibng a then glue to the glasses frame, correct? What material is best?
Thank you
@Radek This part is printed in TPU. The "mouse ears" are cut off after removing from the bed. They are added to give strength to the part when removing it from the bed. Once removed from the bed, the stresses on the part are much lower so they are not needed.
I have updated this a bit to allow are a larger surface area for the hinge, as well as changed the way I glue the part to allow for greater flexibility.
Thank you for your interest and comment. (edited)
@DougShell Thank you. I will try it and then post the photo.
@Radek Outstanding. I didn't expect this project to be of much help to anyone, but I would love to see how it works for you. I have never had someone post a Make, so that would be cool
