Double Fold PIP Hinge System
Two kinds of print in place hinges; one only bends up, the other down. That's what's needed for a flat plate that folds into 4.
Solution designed by me in @tinkercad for Dory in HLModTech's (free) Patreon community.

ALT Folded flat, with rows of hinges like this, there is very little play, making it suitable for a marking template that folds down compactly.
ALT It folds down neatly and into a very compact package.
ALT Showing maximum reverse deflection.
ALT Slicer shows all layers print separately. However, at this scale of 2mm hinges and 4mm hinges, there can be a little binding and not enough strength, so be careful as you free up the hinges.

There's a useful trick in here. By adding a second line to thicken the inside of the vase I was able to eliminate overhangs over 45 degrees, which many printers struggle with. It was either that or make the upper part less rounded, but I was going for the Chinese rice wine shape.

Lattice Vase 1.1 (lattice only) - This is the same as the vase, but only the lattice, so it's technically a basket. It still prints but it won't be as clean as the full walled vase and it actually takes a little longer to print.

Mario Brothers
Mario and Luigi drawn in @tinkercad Sketch Extrude by different methods. Mario's lines are formed by cutting away the shales and Luigi's shapes are formed by cutting away the lines.

I'm working on a printable dial and date wheel to replicate James Bond's prop watch in the movie Live and Let Die.
The simple simulation runs in @tinkercad, and it's a good example of how to toggle colours in SIM LAB.

This is the most famous application of the bistable cam. The mechanism applies pressure to keep the lid open or closed. Modelled 1:1 in @tinkercad.

The original request was for a vertical carrot (printed container, so I made this version using a different method of doing a lid and lip.

This is a meme font and I can't find the original author. If you have the info, let me know so I can credit them.

I wish I could build this into a large format camera. I'd just need to link it to a laser rangefinder to take a reading, and a microprocessor to process that and speak to the focus slider.
