I’m trying to make a largish (20 cm across or so) octagon or hexagon out of
technic parts. I thought this would be easy, because I believed that the
bent technic beams (e.g. 32348) had a
135-degree angle, or at least some angle that would divide evenly into 360.
But this does not appear to be the case; when I connect these with same-sized
beams, the end does not connect up. I can sort of force it into a hexagon,
but the pieces are under a fair amount of strain that way. So I have two
questions:
1. Does anybody know what odd angle these pieces really are?
2. Any suggestions for how to make a simple octagon or hexagon out of technic
parts?
Thanks,
