Summary

This is a version of the geometric proof of the Pythagorean Theorem with a simplified design to aid assembly and avoid lost pieces.
Rather than just pegs that the pieces can slide off of or a top that requires manual intervention during printing I incorporated a pin connector so that the pieces can push down onto the pegs and not slide back off.
To aid in this mechanism I also slightly tapered the loop openings on the chain and square.

Most importantly I added labels to the proof. To aid in comprehension I added A^2, B^2, C^2 to their respective base areas, and A, B, C labels for each side of the triangle and the right angle symbol.
