To enhance your PolyBot design, switch from these parts: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4962 to these: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5126. During this transition, you'll need a simple, theme-compatible shelf component. Introducing the rod mountable socket - one end fits 5/16 rods by default, while the other has a ball and socket connection. This versatile piece can be used for various applications, from creating shelves to constructing trestle bridge cross supports. The .stl file socket accommodates 5/16" rod with a loose slip fit. To enhance grip, use tape around the rod or apply glue. For threaded rods, adjust OpenScad's inner radius by 1.05 for a snug connection. Here's your step-by-step guide: 1. Assess your framing design for potential socket usage spots. 2. Print as many sockets as needed. 3. Print ball caps for your 5/16" rods. 4. Place ball caps on rod ends. 5. Slip sockets onto rods. 6. Press fit capped rods into sockets. 7. Celebrate your successful construction!
