Summary

Print these parts:

  • Scale_Holder
  • Clamp_Jaw

There are two clamp bars one has a hole at the end the other has a hole in the middle. Use the one you prefer.

  • Clamp_Bar // Hole at the end
  • Clamp_Bar_P // Hole in the middle

These parts are small and will require rafts:

  • Pointer
  • Clamp_Wedges

    Print Angle-Throw-Gauge.pdf.

    Assembly

  • From Angle-Throw-Gauge.pdf cut out a scale.
  • Use 3M 77 Spray Adhesive or similair, to fasten the printed scale to the scale holder.

Assemble the clamp:

  • Put a wedge through the hole in the Clamp Jaw
  • Push the clamp bar through the hole in the Clamp Jaw
  • Slide the wedge and check that the clamp jaw is locked
  • Four wedges are printed. Use the one that works best

    Pendulum and Axle

  • Bend a paper clip to make the pendulm and axle.
  • Push the Clamp Bar into the square hole on the Scale Holder.
  • Align the hole in the Clamp Bar with the hole in the Scale Holder. A paper clip through the hole will help alignment.
  • Glue the clamp bar in place.
  • Push the pendulm axle through the hole in the Scale Holder and Clamp Bar.
  • Push a small peice of tubing over the axle. It will stop the pointer from rubbing on the scale.
  • Push the pointer on to the axle. A drop of glue will hold it in place.
  • The pendulm should move freely without sticking. Use solder to increase the pendulm weight.
