Yes, you can print it in one part. The gap should be 0.5mm. SLS or MJF in Nylon is fine

Hello, I’m putting this topic in the right place.

To create two parts articulated by an axis that’s fixed on one of the parts, what should be done? Is it possible to print both parts in the same file that will remain timeless? Which printing technology should be used? What allowance should be left to allow one part to pivot around the other, and is it possible with nylon 12?

Thank you.

Thank you for the advice. I’m having trouble finding it on the site. I didn’t even know that we could get this kind of information.
