Two hinges to attach an acrylic glass door to a wooden frame

This is a hinge to attach an acrylic glass door to a wooden frame.

The provided objects are for a 10mm wood panel with a 5mm acrylic glass sheet, inset by 5mm. The model contains a spacer to compensate for this 5mm inset. If you have other dimensions, use the parametric Fusion360 design to adjust the hinge to your needs.

This hinge was part of the “Build a 3D Printer Enclosure” project I published on my blog. Read this tutorial for all details.

• Update 2023-01-29: Updated the project and prints to the latest standards. Added a drawing. All original files are available in a “legacy” ZIP file.

Requirements

To attach the hinge with the dimensions published, you need a couple of screws:

• 2x M5x60 screw for the hinge axis.
• 3x M5x10 screws to attach the glass door.
• 6x M5 nut.
• 4x 3x10 wood screws.

How to Print the Hinge

I prepared PrusaSlicer projects with example prints for a medium and small-sized printer in the files section; use these as a good starting point.

If you like to slice the models from scratch, have a look at the table below:

Dimensions

This design provides a spacer block to inset the glass by 5mm. This spacer block is optional if you plan to mount the glass flush with the frame.

Please use the Fusion360 design in the file section if you need special dimensions and adjust the parameters to your needs.

Conclusion

I had these hinges in regular use for over two years, and they still look new. If you found them useful, please rate them and upload photos of your prints.
