Living Hinge Creator

من طرف drphonon

A new version is available for Inskcape 1.0 and higher. Search the extension repository for "Living Hinge Creator for Inkscape 1.0"

This extension creates cut lines to make a living hinge when laser cutting material. Options include the length of the cuts, the separation between sequential cuts, and the separation between adjacent cuts. All parameters are stored in the "Object Properties" field of the resulting object.

Installation
Download and unzip the file.
Copy living_hinge.inx and src/living_hinge.py to your extension directory.

--Linux
Run the shell script copy_files.sh. This will copy living_hinge.inx and src/living_hinge.py to ~/.config/inkscape/extensions

Instructions on how to use the extension can be found here:

This extension looks great but it doesn't appear to work with version 1.0 of Inkscape on Windows either.

@drphonon, is do you plan on updating to work with the newer version of Inkscape?

Attempting to generate a living hinge while having a 200 x 200 mm box selected with standard hinge settings created the following issues:

Jij hebt het geupdate? Maar je link blijkt niet te werken?

@Mario Voigt,
Thank you so much for the complete extensions repository! That is an awesome job you did there.

@Tina, look here and dowload the complete mightyscape-1.x as a zip file to your computer:
https://gitea.fablabchemnitz.de/MarioVoigt/mightyscape-1.X/src/branch/master

Unzip it and you find many extensions in there.
Just copy the ones you need (every extension has an .inx and .py file) to your user's extensions folder.
There are 3 variations of a living hinge extension.

After installation, you find them under menu > extensions > fablab chemnitz.
