Hello Discuss,

The documentation for hinge is a little sketchy. I would help it along in the descriptions but I have no idea how to do that.

My problem is that I wanted to put screw holes in these hinges. Is this something that is not supported as there is no mention of it that I see in the examples.

include <BOSL2/std.scad> //or screws or threading
include <BOSL2/hinges.scad>

W = 25;
T = 3;
L = 275;
$fn=32;

Ha = 5;
Os = 2;
Seg = L/W;

ydistribute(15){
knuckle_hinge(length=L, segs=Seg, offset=Os, arm_height=Ha,screw_head="FLAT",teardrop=BACK);
knuckle_hinge(length=L, segs=Seg, offset=Os, arm_height=Ha,inner=true,screw_head="FLAT",teardrop=BACK);
}

Hi Bob,

I realized that I could just make one and replicate it on the slicer so I used difference to put a hole it.

Note that posting an issue to the BOSL2 github is the best way to bring
problems to our attention, including inadequacies in the documentation.
What kind of screw holes did you want to make? Do you mean mounting holes,
like you want to make an isolated hinge and mount it somewhere?
