Description

PDF

Connect-a-Beam is a construction set that was designed to be easily 3d printed and assembled quickly. That means that it’s reasonable large to print it with for example 0.6 mm nozzle and with no supports and you can snap parts together with connectors.

Advantages

  • printable without supports
  • printable with PLA
  • printable with 0.6 nozzle (faster and does not have to be that precise)
  • big parts (at least most of them)
  • quick & easy assembly, just click parts together with connectors
  • extendable
  • customizable
  • open-source

Notes

  • Connectors - there are fixed and movable connectors. If the normal movable connector is not moving freely, try to print connector_looser.stl, it is a bit smaller.
  • Gears - the small gear is a bit loose because I had a problem to get it right, but should work. I’m planning to release scad file with gear generator in foreseeable future.

Changelog

  • 1.1 - Beam grooves for fixed connector rotated 45 degrees to make the beam more sturdy.
