Filigree creature

I think that fractal youtube video affected your mind… In a good way! (So far…)

Now, if you’ll excuse me, my brain needs a nap after that.

affected your mind

You know what’s funny, this one was actually something I designed about 2 years ago and never got around to building. I was just going through some old projects and decided to finish a few of them… the last 2 creatures I posted were old designs like that.

Beautiful! How do the pentagonal connectors work - do they fit snugly, or do you add a dab of glue as well?

[evansd2]

Precise fit, it’s plenty snug to hold. Print two notch sizers and find the exact friction fit you’re going for.

Something like @sqw’s version here:

Easy Kerf Gauges

Boring, but really useful. Cut them out of the material you want to check. Slot you material into the slots to find the right size and you already have your kerf allowance! The dimensions are correct in the drawing program, but the actual cut sizes will vary according to the kerf of the cut. So if you are looking for a tight fit, just try the slots until you find one that is tight. That is the dimensions you need to use in your drawing program.!

Super - and thanks for the link!
