Inclinometer

Print these parts:

• Scale_Holder
• Clamp_Jaw

There are two clamp bars one has a hole at the end the other has a hole in the middle. Use the one you prefer.

• Clamp_Bar // Hole at the end
• Clamp_Bar_P // Hole in the middle

These parts are small and will require rafts:

• Pointer

• Clamp_Wedges

  Print Angle-Throw-Gauge.pdf.

  Assembly

• From Angle-Throw-Gauge.pdf cut out a scale.
• Use 3M 77 Spray Adhesive or similair, to fasten the printed scale to the scale holder.

Assemble the clamp:

• Put a wedge through the hole in the Clamp Jaw
• Push the clamp bar through the hole in the Clamp Jaw
• Slide the wedge and check that the clamp jaw is locked
• Four wedges are printed. Use the one that works best

  Pendulum and Axle

• Bend a paper clip to make the pendulm and axle.
• Push the Clamp Bar into the square hole on the Scale Holder.
• Align the hole in the Clamp Bar with the hole in the Scale Holder. A paper clip through the hole will help alignment.
• Glue the clamp bar in place.
• Push the pendulm axle through the hole in the Scale Holder and Clamp Bar.
• Push a small peice of tubing over the axle. It will stop the pointer from rubbing on the scale.
• Push the pointer on to the axle. A drop of glue will hold it in place.
• The pendulm should move freely without sticking. Use solder to increase the pendulm weight.
