In this video I'll show you how you too can easily make 3D hinged models in FreeCAD. This is a relatively easy project that will teach you a bit about image manipulation for 3D printing as well as Computer Aided Design using FreeCAD.

Things You'll need:

1. FreeCAD (Official Release which I don't recommend)
https://www.freecad.org/downloads.php

2. FreeCAD (Realthunder version recommended)
https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCA...

3. Inkscape
https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape...

4. GIMP

5. Download Hinge Files on Thingiverse
