Print-in-Place: Magic on the Print Bed ⚙️

Print-in-place (PIP) designs print as a complete assembly with moving parts!

How It Works

1. Design parts with clearance gaps
2. Print everything at once
3. Parts are captured but can move freely
4. Break free any temporary supports

Clearance Requirements

Common PIP Designs

• Hinges: Captured pin design
• Ball joints: Captive ball in socket
• Gears: Meshing directly
• Chains: Interlocking links
• Fidget toys: Spinners, cubes
