Summary

Adjust an angle of two parts using a predefined amount of steps

  • Angle can be fixed using screws

  • Customizable to make it fit for a lot of purposes

    Shoutouts to the friendly people on the OpenSCAD-Mailinglist who helped me with a difficult issue in this thing.


    [2014-07-07] Update: Added the option to cut the tips of the snaps which leads to trapezoids for high load couplings where minimal conversion of torosional force to axial force is important (suggested by @mechadense)
    [2014-06-27] Update: Odd values for Snaps are also allowed
