Description

The hinge was inspired by someandy's Embossing Stamp on Thingiverse. The image came from wugange.com and was converted to .svg format by online-convert.com before importing into Tinkercad.

MongoGrubb:

The wings are a very intuitive awesome design, but the slicer program I put this through didn't even attach the left antenna to the head and the hinge did not work at all since the gap it has to jump at full size is way too long even for PLA that is built to make independent bridges without supports. I wonder how the creator ever got them to work in the first place and highly recommend making 2 smaller hinges and changing the file so it works better. Again, great design on the wings, I love that you can hold it up to the light to see it but this model does need some work.
