Hi, when designing new parts I often see myself spending lots of time on having to design mechanical parts like hinges, switches, connectors, collets, levers, screw connections etc. Even when I find a part I often have to rebuild them completely because the tolerances don't scale and while channels like this [www.youtube.com] or [507movements.com] are a source of great inspiration designing those mechanisms into usable parts, troubleshooting and iterating them feels inefficient. Has anyone come across a collection, repository, designer on thingiverse/myminifactory etc. that has started a something similar? A collection of mechanical parts that anyone can just include in the projects and not only safe time but also can add and improve on. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,861679,861679#msg-861679 Wed, 15 Jul 2026 02:48:23 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,861679,861725#msg-861725 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,861679,861725#msg-861725 the_digital_dentist General Fri, 01 Nov 2019 22:01:09 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,861679,861723#msg-861723 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,861679,861723#msg-861723 frankvdh General Fri, 01 Nov 2019 20:48:34 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,861679,861722#msg-861722 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,861679,861722#msg-861722 Evil Monkey General Fri, 01 Nov 2019 20:16:44 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,861679,861681#msg-861681 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,861679,861681#msg-861681 sungod3k General Fri, 01 Nov 2019 03:40:00 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,861679,861680#msg-861680 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,861679,861680#msg-861680 grabcad.com] ?]]> VDX General Fri, 01 Nov 2019 03:16:40 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,861679,861679#msg-861679 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,861679,861679#msg-861679
