Hinge 3x3 blocks are Mechanical Blocks much like elbow joints that can apply torque to a subgrid allowing for 180 degrees of motion. Use Hinge 3x3s when building retractable landing gear, collapsible solar arrays, foldable doors, cranes, custom turrets, Mecha legs, and much more.

Usage

The usage is the same as for the Hinge, so see there.

Construction

Hinge 3x3s exist for small grids only. In contrast to a small-grid Hinge, it has a 3x3 base and can attach to large small-grid ports. Hinge 3x3s are composed of two separate halves, a Hinge 3x3 base and a Hinge Part 3x3. When you place the full Hinge 3x3 from the Toolbar-menu, the Hinge Part 3x3 is added automatically. In Survival Mode, you must weld up both halves to be functional.
