Many creative elements for connecting rods can be found on Thingiverse, designed specifically for 6 mm wooden rods. These innovative connectors feature slightly flattened bed sides, ensuring they print flawlessly without support - even complex roof elements at 60 degrees. The length of the connecting rods can be customized to any desired dimension. In this example, they measure 12 cm in length, ideal for kids to build and display their creations on a table. For users who want to experiment with different connectors, an Open SCAD file is provided for modification. To accommodate various diameters, simply utilize the scale function within your slicer software. If you need to remove any internal roughness from the printed parts, use a 6mm drill bit and clamp it securely by hand. Alternatively, if you prefer to use a machine, exercise caution and operate at low speeds.
