Summary
This object prints in one piece without raft or support, fully assembled, hinges and all! The resulting model will hinge from a square to a triangle and back again.
The model is based on Dudeney's famous hinged dissection known as the "Haberdasher's Puzzle". For more information, see MakerHome, Day 188.

Instructions
Be sure to print with no raft and no support or the model will not work correctly. After printing you need to give the hinges a little "snap" to get them started.
This model is optimized for printing on a Replicator 2 with .3mm/low resolution. If you have problems printing on a different machine then tell me details in the comments and I will post some tighter/looser variants that might work better.
