Beskrivelse

Take your Spaghetti Challenge to the next level with the 3D printed Spaghetti Connector Construction Kit. Use it for team building, education, or just as a fun toy! The new Expansion Set contains 7 additional connector shapes for more building options. Search online for the “spaghetti tower challenge” or the “marshmallow and spaghetti tower challenge” for ideas on how to use it in a group setting. Watch how I built the spaghetti bridge: There are two plates. The “Test Print” plate allows you to print one connector to make sure it fits the spaghetti that you have. I made this to fit the product from my local store, but since there are no industry standards on spaghetti noodles, you may need to adjust for the product in your stores. Print the test print and try it out. It should be tight enough to hold the spaghetti but loose enough to allow it to be inserted without breaking. If adjustments are needed, use the “scale” button in the slicer to make changes in size. Building with spaghetti is a challenge, and that is where the fun comes from. If the noodles break, take that piece out and start again. If an end breaks off inside the connector, rotate the connector and use a different port, or set it aside and grab a new one. I have made 3 print profiles. One for the A1, one for the X1C, and one for the A1 Mini. Each profile maximizes the number of connectors that can be fit onto a build plate. We are currently running a contest of Facebook to see who can build the tallest structure or the longest span. Entry is free. You can find the Facebook group here at this link. The first contest entries are in with a free standing tower of 6'11' and a bridge that spans 5'8". There is a copy of the contest rules in the documentation section of this model here on MakerWorld.
