Modular Construction System

prusaprinters

<p>This is still in the very early stages of development.</p><p>I wanted to create a simple construction system that could be used as a teaching aid to demonstrate different concepts while also allowing students to develop their problem-solving abilities with a hands-on practical approach.</p><p>This specific design is to be used with 6mm dowel material that can be easily purchased from B&amp;Q and cut to length.&nbsp;</p><p>The 60-60-60 triangle design allows same-length dowels to be used to reduce material waste.</p><p>This will be expanded on as I experiment with new designs, and filament materials and develop different construction plans for students to follow.</p><p>Settings should be tuned to your individual printer before mass production. I have included the basic settings I have been using with a 0.6mm nozzle. I can print successfully using a brim for bed adhesion and no supports. I am working on improving the print times.</p><p>The model has been designed such that it can easily be scaled to suit different connecting materials. 10mm copper pipe could be used if so desired. If anyone would like a specific size of block please let me know.</p><p>I encourage everyone to share what they have done with these connectors.&nbsp;<br><br>I recently created a filament holder.</p>
