3/23 MAJOR UPDATE with a new hinged ridge connector and much simpler top plate connector. These print much faster and allow for different roof pitches.
3/21 updated with a new simpler top plate connector.
3/22 added a mirror of the bottom corner connector.
Four connectors. They are scaled for 2x4s but could be easily adjusted for other dimensions. 56mm in the model = 1' in the real world.
An 8' 2x4 (real dimensions of 1.5" x 3.5") would have the following dimensions at the connector scale.
2" x 4" x 8' = 7mm x 16.3mm x 448mm
Some people may want the ridge beam connector to have the ridge beam cutout on top so I've included that as well. My thought is that having the beam on the bottom of the connector makes model building easier.
