I started a trikka-discussion repository with GitLab, see here: https://gitlab.com/hkienle/trikka-discussion

But I found that the user interface is much more "busy" and confusion. That I is why I started this repository here on GitHub.

I propose to proceed using this repository, but the other repository on GitLab may be useful for comparison.

Since I am hoping to use this part in one of my designs, I would like to clarify: Does this screw refer to the Eichhorn Constructor screw(s), or is it meant as an example of a more generic (DIN/ISO) screw?

I understand that the part is not fully documented yet. Just wanted to raise this issue early on. Perhaps this gives an incentive to give this part more thought and more priority... 😄

As a side note, the Eichhorn Constructor screws are not truly M10, I believe. They definitely have a coarser threading (~2.5mm) than the typical norm screws (1.5mm or 1mm), so you can not mix and match nuts and bolts.

Links named "TPP 1.0" for part descriptions go to https://trikka.house/treegrid-public-promise-vs-1/.

At this time, this page does not exist. Presumably, it should link to https://trikka.house/trikka-public-promise-vs-1/

Not sure if this is the case for all "TPP 1.0" links, but I found several cases. For example, see this part: https://trikka.house/parts/079-1/

The Open Design Lamps made me aware of Eichhorn Constructor and since I found them very useful I would like to see them in the parts catalog.

What do the Trikka "custodians" think of this? Would it be a good thing to include the "standard/generic" Constructor parts? I am primarily thinking of the beams (1x3, 1x4, 1x5, 1x6), the "cube" (1x1x1) and the screws of various length, nuts and washers. These parts even adhere to the 3Grid!?

I like it that they can be easily purchased and are not too expensive, but there is only a single source. On the other hand, it is not too difficult to make the beams. In effect, a design with Constructor parts should be fairly easy to transform into DIY/norm parts. (Indeed, I think it would be fun to show both versions of such a design! 😃)

Yeah, it seems that a screw already made it into the catalog!?: #3

Just wondering, I believe I have not seen 3D-printed parts in the parts catalog (yet).

Should these parts be treated as ordinary (DIY) parts, or do these parts require special handling?

(One reason for asking this: I have a lamp design that uses a 3D-printed lamp shade. This makes the lamp customizable with many 3D-printed shades, as long has the shade observes a few geometric constraints.)

Some parts have "Bar" in their descriptions, other use "Beam", for example:

• 079.1 – Beam 270mm https://trikka.house/parts/079-1/
• 073.1 – Bar 150mm https://trikka.house/parts/073-1/

Are beam and bar different concepts? If not, perhaps a common name should be used to avoid confusion. (I personally prefer "beam" over "bar".)
