About the Model

The Structural Kit is a modular educational system designed for hands-on learning of architectural and engineering structures. It is easy to print, assemble, and use in demonstrations, workshops, or classroom environments.

🔹 Includes:

• Short and long beams: designed for precise assembly.
• Counter-beams: reinforce the structure and allow for experimenting with triangulated or linear configurations.
• Connectors: pieces that join multiple beams at different angles, enabling complex structures.
• Bases: anchoring points to build on a flat surface.

🧠 Key Features:

• The beams allow slight deformation under load, helping to visualize force distribution and structural resistance.
• Fully scalable: print more parts to build larger structures.
• Ideal for students, educators, makers, and construction enthusiasts.

🧲 About the Magnets

The system is designed to work with magnets. You can search for "buckyballs" to find compatible ones. It includes 24x4mm cylindrical magnets and 8mm steel balls. Ideally, the model uses 12x4mm magnets, but you can cut the 24x4mm ones in half and use them. The 8mm balls are attached to the bases, and any extras can be used as connectors.

Additionally:

• This magnetic system allows you to easily attach and detach parts, simulating real structural joints without glue or screws.
