Modular Grinding Angle Guide

thingiverse

This is a spinoff of my individual grinding angle guides for an 8" bench grinder (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2032929). I thought it'd be cool to have one unit that could adjust to each angle seamlessly. So, this is what I came up with. It works great, but it has its flaws. I think the base guide needs to be attached firmly to the wheel guide somehow, maybe a living hinge would be just the right solution. Also, the pegs that index into the wheel guide are very small and need significant reinforcement or beefing up through screw post-printing. Otherwise, it functions remarkably well; you just have to handle the pegs carefully and tweak the base guide a bit while setting the angle. I printed it as oriented in the STL, with support, so the text came out crisp and clean.
