Vex Rise Above Octogon Piece

thingiverse

The octagon piece for the new Rise Above game in 2020-2021 has been converted to an STL file. The original step file was converted, and the part numbers were taken directly from the full field CAD STEP files. However, the actual part numbers are listed in the build instructions. Four different STLs are available: * Full: This is the complete piece with no modifications. * Half: Only the upper half of the piece is included so that you can print two and assemble them together using super glue. * FlatSnapHoleDepth: A modified version of the half piece, extended to the snap hole depth (4.57mm), suitable for FDM printing without requiring two halves. The ribs or walls are removed on one side. * FlatSnapHoleDepthV2: This STL has a 4.5mm snap hole depth instead of 4.57mm, following VEX specifications. Printing at a height of 0.2mm results in better-fitting standoffs. To assemble the pieces, print three and ensure that the end pieces have the "good" ribbed sides facing outward when connected. It's also worth noting that newer, longer standoffs are required according to the build instructions, which may not be included with the standard standoff pack.
