Template:Statusboxtop Template:Status-design Template:Status-prototype You can help Appropedia by contributing to the next step in this OSAT's status. Template:Boxbottom
Abstract
- Paragraph description of the OSAT - why is it Appropriate? What need does it fulfil? Are there case studies you have found of a technology being used successfully?
- Picture of completed print using
Bill of Materials
- PLC Plastic 32 grams
- Screws
- Bolt
- File:DoorFastener.stl
- File:DoorHinge.stl
Tools needed for fabrication of the OSAT
- MOST Delta RepRap or similar RepRap 3-D printer
- PLC Plastic
- Mounting Screws
Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions
- Load the files in Openscad
- Will have to edit these one at a time
- Change the parameters to what will suit your needs
- hinge_scale: changes the size of your door hinge
- (minimum accepted value is 1, creating a door hinge with dimensions 0.236" x 0.4409" or 6mm x 11.2mm)
- screw_radius: radius for the screws for your door
- ensure that the screw sizes are smaller than your hinge dimensions
- door_pin: the pin radius for your connector (needs to be same for both files!)
- door_width: the hinge width (recommended to be same for both files for efficient operations)
- Compile and export as STL
- hinge_scale: changes the size of your door hinge
- Open up Cura
- In Cura load the STL model
- Create as GCode
- Open Up RepetierHost
- Load the GCode, print (est. 1 hour total)

- Consider video if appropriate

Common Problems and Solutions
- Include common mistakes/problems to avoid in building your OSAT and how to overcome them
Cost savings
- If your solution is not a low cost one then it is not really appropriate.
- Estimate your costs
- Find a commercial equivalent
- Calculate $ savings and % savings
References
- The sources of information (e.g. engineering handbooks, journal articles, government documents, webpages, books, magazine articles etc.). References should use the <ref> </ref> and <references/> tags and can be in any format but should include all the information necessary for someone else to find the same information you did. For example: [1]
- ↑ web page: Department of Energy (DOE) Landscaping and Energy Efficiency, DOE/GO-10095 (1995) Available: http://www.eren.doe.gov/erec/factsheets/landscape.html
Based on the developmental needs addressed (e.g. food, heat, electricity, clean water, health care, etc.) be sure to label your device in the proper categories e.g. use [[Category:Water]]. Be sure to categorize your device so that it will be easy to find – for example “Low voltage connection basics” is categorized in [[Category:How tos]] [[Category:Electricity]] [[Category:Electric lighting]].
