Description

This should tie two MakerBeams together; I say 'should' because it's yet to be printed.

I recommend scaling up all models by a factor of 1.5 if you want to print and play right now. The 15x15mm scale is clearly better for current 3-d printing technology, being both stronger and in possession of a clearly formed slot. Erik de Bruijn has been attaching those profiles together with 3M nuts and bolts, and we look forward to seeing what comes of that.

I'll be the first to confess my ignorance at least!

The file was built in Maya, so it may require some cleaning up. I included the OBJ that I based the STL on, if that helps anyone.

Cool. Thanks for adding accessories to the beams.

I get a non-solid intersection when I try to process it in skeinforge. See the image below. I set fill to 90%, so it looks like it's something with the model? The object doesn't give any errors in skeinforge though... so I wonder why this could be? Anyone?

I managed to rotate the model to a printable angle this time, I think. The finished object may need sanding or shaving to actually fit; I can't find out because I don't have a MakerBot or RepStrap of my very own yet.
