The Bracket 120° 3×3 from the Variety gizmos add-on pack


#1

Hello Makeblock Team!
I just discovered the Variety gizmos add-on pack Variety gizmos add-on pack for mBot & mBot Ranger on the Makeblock Store Site: http://store.makeblock.com/P1020001.
I wonder if its a new pack since I did not see it before on this site, but I am quite new to Makeblock so it could be that I just overlooked it.
Anyway this add-on pack includes 2× Bracket 120° 3×3

This part would be very helpful with my current project.
So Is there a way to order just the Bracket 120° 3×3 without the other parts of the add-on pack?

Don’t see them on the site, they appear to be hinged in the photo, is that correct?

If you don’t need the hinge, maybe you could bend the regular ones to suit.

I’m not sure that it’s hinged. If you look at the mBot Antenna car (first model) it appears that the tube is there for support so that the brackets won’t easily deform.

@tec_support, is there a current set of CAD parts for the Makeblock parts available for those of us who design robots in CAD?

Thanks!

Hi Walter,

It should be a new add-on pack for mBot and Ranger since it is under the new products section.
I have searched the whole website, and find the Bracket 120° 3×3 is not available for sell individually.

@chuckmcknight, here is the link where we shared the 3D file for some parts. You may check if you can find the one needed.

Hi @tec_support,

I checked the GrabCAD site, but didn’t see the plate in question. It has several of the pieces, but not all of them which is disappointing as I’m teaching the kids here robotic design with CAD and I’d like them to design based on the Makeblock parts. Oh well, guess it’s time to drag out the calipers and create the parts myself. :slight_smile:
