3D Printed Hinge + Further Dolls House Finishing

 

Its been one of our key projects this year, the Schools Dolls House, including 3D Printed furniture that was designed via Tinkercad.

Below this post you can see the overview slideshow of the entire projects.   The additional features recently added includes the framing around the windows, a balcony above the door and the steps leading up to them.

The major adjustment is the roof.   The initial roof when the project started was closed over and permanently fixed.

To allow the roof to swing open in two parts a hinge was printed used the 3D Printer, the Bambu H2D.   The hinge is shown left in full fixed location.

The 3D Printer can of course be used to customise hinges of any size.

The PLA with the print allowed it to be open and closed with the flexibility created by the plastic.

The print time for the hinge was under thirty minutes.  There are a number of freely available hinges online.

The hinges can be seen in the photograph left - with the roof open to allow access to the inside of the Dolls House.

As we have previously noted the final step is the use of the Roland Versa Sign Maker the intended use of this is for the decals on the floor and the walls.   It could also be used to decorate the outside of the house.

The full project including the work on the furniture can be view in the slideshow below.
