###Print these parts: - Scale_Holder - Clamp_Jaw There are two clamp bars to choose from, one with a hole at the end and the other with a hole in the middle. Select the one that suits your preference. - Clamp_Bar // Hole at the end - Clamp_Bar_P // Hole in the middle These small parts will require rafts for printing: - Pointer - Clamp_Wedges Print Angle-Throw-Gauge.pdf. ###Assembly - From Angle-Throw-Gauge.pdf, cut out a scale. - Use 3M 77 Spray Adhesive or similar to secure the printed scale to the scale holder. #### Assemble the clamp: - Insert a wedge through the hole in the Clamp Jaw. - Push the clamp bar through the hole in the Clamp Jaw. - Slide the wedge and verify that the clamp jaw is locked in place. - Four wedges are provided. Choose the one that works best. ####Pendulum and Axle - Bend a paper clip to create the pendulm and axle. - Insert 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 aid alignment. - Secure the clamp bar in place with glue. - Push the pendulm axle through the hole in the Scale Holder and Clamp Bar. - Apply a small piece of tubing over the axle to prevent the pointer from rubbing on the scale. - Place the pointer onto the axle. A drop of glue will hold it in place. - The pendulm should move freely without sticking. Adding solder can increase the pendulm weight. ####Sources The clamp is a remix of "Hobby Clamps" by ModelStation, [Hobby Clamps](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:12616/) And utilizes The Angle-Throw-Gauge.pdf, by Dennis Summer, [Dennis Sumner's blog](https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?u=12173) ####Edit 2017/11/5 add new photograph and construction sequence
