// Section: Hinges
// Module: knuckle_hinge()
// Usage:
// knuckle_hinge(length, offset, segs, [inner], [arm_height=], [arm_angle=], [fill=], [clear_top=], [gap=], [round_top=], [round_bot=], [knuckle_diam=], [pin_diam=], [pin_fn=], [anchor=], [spin=], [orient=]) [ATTACHMENTS];
// Description:
// Construct standard knuckle hinge in two parts using a hinge pin that must be separately supplied. The default is configured to use a piece of 1.75 mm filament as the hinge pin,
// but you can select any dimensions you like to use a screw or other available pin material. The BOTTOM of the hinge is its mount point, which is aligned with
// the hinge pin centersurface, and the hinge pin hole is the CENTER of the hinge.
// The offset is the distance from a vertical mounting point to the center of the hinge pin. The hinge barrel is held by an angled support and
// vertical support. The length of the angled support is determined by its angle and the offset. You specify the length of the vertical support with the
// arm_height parameter.
// Figure(2D,NoScales): The basic hinge form appears on the left. If fill is set to true the gap between the mount surface and hinge arm is filled as shown on the right.
// _hinge_profile(4, 5, $fn=32, fill=false);
// right(13)_hinge_profile(4, 5, $fn=32, fill=true);
// fwd(9)stroke([[0,0],[4,4],[4,9]], width=.3,color="black");
// stroke([[5,-5],[5,0]], endcaps="arrow2", color="blue",width=.15);
// color("blue"){move([6.2,-2.5])text("arm_height",size=.75,valign="center");
// stroke(arc(r=3, cp=[0,-9], angle=[47,90],$fn=64),width=.15,endcaps="arrow2");
// move([-.5,-6])text("arm_angle", size=0.75,halign="right");
// move([14,-4])text("fill=true", size=1);
// }
// Continues:
// As shown in the above figure, the fill option fills the gap between the hinge arm and the mount surface to make a stronger connection. When the
// arm height is set to zero, only a single segment connects the hinge barrel to the mount surface.
// Figure(2D,NoScales): Zero arm height with 45 deg arm
// right(10) _hinge_profile(4, 0, $fn=32);

// right(11)fwd(-3)color("blue")text("fill=true",size=1);
// right(.5)fwd(-3)color("blue")text("fill=false",size=1);
// Continues:
// Figure(2D,NoScales): Zero arm height with 90 deg arm. The clear_top parameter removes the hinge support material that is above the x axis
// _hinge_profile(4, 0, 90, $fn=32);

// right(.5)fwd(-3)color("blue")text("clear_top=false",size=.76);
// Continues:
// For 3D printability, you may want to make the hinge pin hole octagonal. To do this without
// changing the other parts of the design, set `pin_fn=8`. You can round off the joint to the
// mount surface with `round_top` and `round_bot`. You specify the amount of thickness to add.
// If you make this parameter too large you will get an error that the rounding doesn't fit.
// The default pin hole size admits a piece of 1.75 mm filament. If you prefer to use a machine
// screw you can set the pin_diam to a screw specification like `"M3"` or "#6". In this case,
// a clearance hole is created through most of the hinge with a self-tap hole for the last segment.
// If the last segment is very long you may shrink the self-tap portion using the tap_depth parameter.
// The pin hole diameter is enlarged by the `2*$slop` for numerically specified holes.
// Screw holes are made using {{screw_hole()} which enlarges the hole by `4*$slop`.
// Arguments:
// length = total length of the entire hinge
// offset = horizontal offset of the hinge pin center from the mount point
// segs = number of hinge segments
// inner = set to true for the "inner" hinge. Default: false
// ---
// arm_height = vertical height of the arm that holds the hinge barrel. Default: 0
// arm_angle = angle of the arm down from the vertical. Default: 45
// fill = if true fill in space between arm and mount surface. Default: true
// clear_top = if true remove any excess arm geometry that appears above the top of the mount surface. Default: false
// gap = gap between hinge segments. Default: 0.2
// round_top = rounding amount to add where top of hinge arm joins the mount surface. Generally only useful when fill=false. Default: 0
// round_bot = rounding amount to add where bottom of hinge arm joins the mount surface. Default: 0
// knuckle_diam = diameter of hinge barrel. Default: 4
// pin_diam = diameter of hinge pin hole as a number of screw specification. Default: 1.75
// screw_head = screw head to use for countersink
// screw_tolerance = screw hole tolerance. Default: "close"
// tap_depth = Don't make the tapped part of the screw hole larger than this.
// $slop = increases pin hole diameter
// anchor = Translate so anchor point is at origin (0,0,0). See [anchor](attachments.scad#subsection-anchor). Default: `BOTTOM`
// spin = Rotate this many degrees around the Z axis after anchor. See [spin](attachments.scad#subsection-spin). Default: `0`
// orient = Vector to rotate top towards, after spin. See [orient](attachments.scad#subsection-orient). Default: `UP`
// Example: Basic hinge, inner=false in front and inner=true in the back
// $fn=32;
// ydistribute(30){
// knuckle_hinge(length=35, segs=4, offset=3, arm_height=1);
// knuckle_hinge(length=35, segs=4, offset=3, arm_height=1,inner=true);
// }
// Example(NoScales): Basic hinge, mounted. Odd segment count means the "outside" hinge is on the outside at both ends.
// $fn=32;
// cuboid([2,40,15])
// position(TOP+RIGHT) orient(anchor=RIGHT)
// knuckle_hinge(length=35, segs=9, offset=3, arm_height=1);
// Example(NoScales): Corresponding inner hinge to go with previous example. Note that the total number of hinge segments adds to the 9 specified.
// $fn=32;
// cuboid([2,40,15])
// position(TOP+RIGHT) orient(anchor=RIGHT)
// knuckle_hinge(length=35, segs=9, offset=3, arm_height=1, inner=true);
// Example(NoScales): This example shows how to position and orient the hinge onto the front of an object instead of the right side.
// $fn=32;
// cuboid([40,2,15])
// position(TOP+FRONT) orient(anchor=FWD)
// knuckle_hinge(length=35, segs=9, offset=3, arm_height=1);
// Example(NoScales): Hinge with round_bot set to create a smooth transition, but octagonal hinge pin holes for printing
// $fn=32;
// cuboid([2,40,15])
// position(TOP+RIGHT) orient(anchor=RIGHT)
// knuckle_hinge(length=35, segs=9, offset=3, arm_height=1,
// round_bot=1, pin_fn=8);
// Example(NoScales): Hinge with no vertical arm, just angled arm
// $fn=32;
// cuboid([2,40,15])
// position(TOP+RIGHT) orient(anchor=RIGHT)
// knuckle_hinge(length=35, segs=9, offset=3, pin_fn=8);
// Example(NoScales): Setting the arm_angle to a large value like 90 produces a hinge that doesn't look great
// $fn=32;
// cuboid([2,40,15])
// position(TOP+RIGHT) orient(anchor=RIGHT)
// knuckle_hinge(length=35, segs=9, offset=3, arm_angle=90,
// arm_height=0, pin_fn=8);
// Example(NoScales): The above hinge is improved with clear_top, which allows nice attachment to a shape half the thickness of the hinge barrel
// $fn=32;
// cuboid([20,40,2])
// position(TOP+RIGHT) orient(anchor=RIGHT)
// knuckle_hinge(length=35, segs=9, offset=3, arm_height=0,
// arm_angle=90, pin_fn=8, clear_top=true);
// Example(NoScales): Uneven hinge using seg_ratio. Here the inner hinge segments are 1/3 the outer, a rather extreme difference. Note also that it's a little simpler to mount the inner hinge on the LEFT side of the top section to interface with the hinge mounted on the RIGHT.
// $fn=32;
// cuboid([2,40,15]){
// position(TOP+RIGHT) orient(anchor=RIGHT)
// knuckle_hinge(length=35, segs=9, offset=3, arm_height=1,
// seg_ratio=1/3);
// attach(TOP,TOP) color("green")

// position(TOP+LEFT) orient(anchor=LEFT)
// knuckle_hinge(length=35, segs=9, offset=3, arm_height=1,
// seg_ratio=1/3, inner=true);
// }
// Example(NoScales): A single hinge with an even number of segments will probably look strange, but they work together neatly in a pair. This example also shows that the arm_height can change between the inner and outer hinge parts and they will still interface properly.
// $fn=32;
// cuboid([2,40,15]){
// yflip_copy()
// position(TOP+RIGHT+FRONT) orient(anchor=RIGHT)
// knuckle_hinge(length=12, segs=2, offset=2, arm_height=2,

// position(TOP+LEFT+FRONT) orient(anchor=LEFT)
// knuckle_hinge(length=12, segs=2, offset=2, arm_height=0,
// inner=true, anchor=BOT+RIGHT);
// }
// Example(NoScales): Hinge with self-tapping screw hole. Note that last segment has smaller diameter for screw to bite, whereas other segments have clearance holes.

// position(TOP+RIGHT) orient(anchor=RIGHT)
// knuckle_hinge(length=35, segs=5, offset=5, knuckle_diam=9, pin_diam="#6", fill=false,inner=false, screw_head="flat");
// Example(NoScales): If you give a non-flat screw head then a counterbore for that head is generated. If you don't want the counterbore, don't give a head type. In this example, tap_depth limits the narrower self-tap section of the hole.
