Hey Technic Fans,
How would you connect two beams together, end to end, with one rotated 90
degrees?

The only solutions I can think of at the moment are big, bulky, and not
feasible.
I'm looking for a simple connection that will fix the two beams rigidly
together. To reduce eccentricity, I would prefer the long axis of each beam
to be on a common line, or as close a possible to a common line (i.e. the
beams are "lined up").
The beams don't have to be spaced by 1L (as pictured). The space can be less
or more just as long as the connection performs as desired.
Thanks,
TJ Avery

| (...) One way might be to use the light gray half-pins (ldraw part 4274.dat). Put them in the endmost holes of the "sideways" beam. The short protruding sections can then act as top studs, and the two beams can be connected as you describe with a (...) (23 years ago, 30-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)

| Thanks Steve and Don! I tried out your ideas and also built a couple of others that are variations of your ideas. I think I'm getting close to what I need. thanks, TJ (23 years ago, 30-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)

| TJ, I would try a solution using the dark grey Technic pins that are 1.5 stud-widths long, and the 1xn Technic plates with rounded ends and a Technic pin-connector on each end. You could use up to four per two beams. Connect the plate to the beam so (...) (23 years ago, 30-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)
