Comment on I design and 3D Printed the smallest friction hing, I think is possible at 10mm

You might be able to make it much stiffer by adding more of the arms parallel. The force should be consistent when you tighten multiple of them with one screw.

I could achieve the same effect by making the arms thicker. Though I am thinking of printing the screw caps in TPU to see if I can make it stiffer that way.
Trying to keep the parts the same as the main thing this belongs too. M2 threaded inserts and 5mm screws. So not a lot of flexibility when it comes to thickness. That said, as a MK2 I’d probably make it 2mm thick rather than 1.2mm since that’s my goto size for stiffness.

What about a dab of hot glue as a kind of medium between the head of a bolt/screw and the plastic it’s in?
This way you get some of the “grip” from a malleable material that’s also pretty easy to get ahold of for most people.
