Matt Bacon Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Not quite sure where to post this, but Albion Alloys has just launched a new line called "Connecto". It's all brass, and is made up of fine brass tubes and etched "star" connectors. The stars come in varying numbers of points. You slide the number of tubes you need to meet at one place onto the points of the appropriate star, add a few drops of superglue to fix them, and then you can bend them to the geometry you need. Bingo -- fine tube spaceframe with good joints without any tricky holding and soldering... http://www.albionhobbies.com/connecto/ bestest, M.
Foxer Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 That's a good idea, but the joints would still need finishing with square cut tubes all meeting. It would making holding for solder or even putty easier.
afx Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 This is great news. Wonder why it took so long for someone to offers these.
