and to weld some bits together I need to know the angels.

I'm pretty sure praying in Church should do the trick.

i need an angle to know these angels

Jokes aside xD

One question, does that 18 mm refers to the whole line including the 6mm, or is it refering to that line itself?

SonaTitsAndAss1 votes

that line itself as a whole. the 6mm is just the tiny part of it. but from one end to the other its 18mm

Oooo okay,

What about that small line beside the 17 mm?

SonaTitsAndAss1 votes

2mm :/ each tiny square is 1mm

You sure that's right? Because that would have you trying to connect two edges that aren't the same length.

Edit: If I shorten it to 1mm, the two edges are the same length.

Look at your original diagram. On the bottom piece, you extend 18mm left to right. On the middle piece, you've got the 15mm top plus the 2mm left, leaving you with 1mm to be at 18mm.

My diagram uses the 1mm modification. I didn't get the pieces perfectly lined up, so the angle may be a hair off, but they're within human error range (it's close enough that even if I got the angle exact, you'd probably make a mistake while assembling). That said, measure your model!!! Double check that these look like they're in the right ballpark before you weld anything together. Magnets are your friends for testing these things :)

If you made it out of paper the metal version would be literally the exact same thing. If anything the metal version would be more forgiving since you can flatten it more to "make" extra material if you need to and any holes could be filled by gradually building up the walls with weld. Are you using steel, aluminium, or some other type of metal? Are you welding it with rod or a mig?

I am using steel as for welding i dont actually do it. i get a friend to do it. and i need that sharp crisp edge which is why i need the angels :/

Looks like the wizards in this thread are calculating your angles nicely XD

If your friend knows how to weld then he undoubtedly knows how to use both a zip-cut and a finishing grinder. The sharp crisp edge on metal should always be done through these means, as a weld will always turn out round.

Also: make sure you trim the edges of your templates to account for the weld thickness (depends on what he's welding with) on all pieces that will touch or it'll turn out too big (source is self-experience ^///^)

I'm trying to convert your diagram into a model in Sketchup. Should be able to pull all of your angles from there.

while im extremely grateful ... i cant say this without sounding like a prat but know its not intended. I didnt need the angels of the triangle themselves but of the angel they would make when welded together. but hey... free extra credit? its really hard not sounding like a prick ...
