Hello all!

This is in regards to the Reprap rostock, I've cut out the wooden members but I'm stuck at how to join them.
Based on , they seem cable tied confused smiley

, but how did he achieve the perpendicularity and the rigidity that the image
seems to invoke?
Any experienced builders of the Rostock out there that can share me his/her insight?

Cheers!
DennyP

I'd suggest some normal metal L brackets from the DIY store.

I used lots of them on the wooden frome of my filastruder.

Good idea, and if they're fastened with screws only, the wooden members can be removed from one another in case something went wrong

Hi Danny,
We are going to screw and also glue them. The structure can still be dissembled if needed as the poles are independent from the wood and can be pulled through the printed parts at either end to remove.
