Print-in-place hinge

sha256:33ce01bd02ef0a91

§1Prompt verbatim

Two-leaf hinge that prints in one piece without supports: each leaf 40 × 30 × 3 mm, knuckle Ø 6 mm with a Ø 4 mm pin captive in a 0.3 mm clearance bore. Clearance must allow free 90° rotation post-print on a 0.4 mm nozzle FDM machine.

§3Reference render

canonical reference · drag to orbit, scroll to zoom

Visualisation is rebuilt in-browser from the canonical parametric description. Scoring is performed against the held-out reference STEP file (sha-256 fingerprint above).

Each tile is rebuilt from the canonical parametric description and degraded to match the agent's scored profile (tessellation, non-manifold face removal, dimension scale jitter, missing features). Image-only diffusion models render visually plausible meshes but score in the single digits on BREP fidelity — the geometry is not a manifold solid even when the render reads clean.
