Make Hinged 3D Models Easily in FreeCAD
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)

2. FreeCAD (Realthunder version -- recommended)

3. Inkscape
