Remix of the Tactile Triangle Teaching Tool that adds protractors to each corner.
Example Lessons and Demonstrations
- Types of triangles
- Angle/side relationships
- Triangle congruency
Customization
Sizes
- Small - 60mm of travel
- Large - 120mm of travel
Track Styles
- Standard - Supports infinite angle and distance settings
- Click - Supports a smaller range of settings for the benefit of locking into predefined positions
Dial Styles
- Large - Better grip
- Small - Less obtrusive
Optional
Print a mini wrench to make tightening dials easier. WARNING: Do not over-tighten.
Printing
- Designed for 0.2mm layer heights
- All parts can be printed without supports
- How well sliding parts move will depend on print quality
- Avoid brittle filaments to prevent parts from snapping
- Swap filaments mid-print for easier to read dials
Parts List
To print a triangle, you will need three copies of both the top and bottom track of the size and style of your choice. You can mix track lengths but you cannot mix track styles.
You will also need 6 dials, which can consist of a mix of small and large sizes.
Assembly
See video above for a step-by-step assembly.
