Thanks for the compliment and yes, you are probably right. I think this is one of the worst tutorials i ever made although it got the most views out of all my videos. I probably shouldn't say this under my own video though :)
hello! love the video very helpful! im wondering if you can help me with an issue when i try to put the extrude in to the middle of the part i type the #length/2 as you do but it doesnt work? it says enter a valid expression? im a complete noob to onshape and this would save me alot of time in the future. thanks!
Thanks @ceejaybarrow6775, make sure there are no spaces in your expression and that you have defined the length before you try to use it. Other than that I can’t tell you much without seeing it directly.
Have you actually tried to print this? I really don't think it will work - IMO that 'bridge' is going to be impossible to print, even if Cura will make a slice for it... but you don't actually need it to go all the way through, just make little cone shaped bits either side.
If have printed a very similar model with different dimensions, but yes depending on the bridging capability you might have to reduce the bridge length. I know about the pin hinge. If you think that is a problem you can either use a different hinge design or make multiple short bridges.
Amazing video!
I'm sure you're brilliant, but the MOST important part about this video is how to design the hinge, and you timelapsed that part.

LOL, you speed through the most important part

How would I make a hinge that isn't printed in place?
There are a lot of ways to make a hinge. A easy way I show in this vid: ua-cam.com/video/z14CEm_Gn44/v-deo.html, or just search on youtube :)
