Hmm, I made a 90 degree angle and it takes up a bit too much room. Stick with the more acute version.
To get it to fold properly you need a bit of spare room at the axle. If you make it more square than I did or just keep an eye out for tolerances you'll be fine.
Recessing the holes for the dowel ends with a forstner was time consuming, the hole is deeper than the forstner so you just have to guess when you're deep enough, and not going to go through the other side.
