It may not be visually optimal, but by golly it works and is good enough for me (for now lol)

This is a TinkerCad'd remix of the Folding Brace, EmSix 2 Slot by @Creative-Extension11:1 and a remix of the Strike-ish brace titled "DB JMAC Brace end remix_" that I downloaded a year and a half ago but I'm not sure who'd it's from, but shout-out to both of the original creators!

I had a hard time finding a printed hinge mechanism that's both small and secure, but this absolutely fits the bill! Very secure lock-up, very easy to fold. Does take a bit of care to swing the brace at just the right speed so it'll lock open: too slow or too fast and it won't latch. It also has no way to keep it folded so it'll flop around when folded, so I may add a magnet later on to the brace.
