Modular Grinding Angle Guide

thingiverse

This is a spinoff of my individual grinding angle guides for an 8" bench grinder (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2032929). I thought it'd be neat to have a single unit that could index to each angle. So this is what I came up with. It works, but it's got it's problems. I think the base guide needs to be attached to the wheel guide somehow, maybe a living hinge would be just the ticket. Also, the pegs that index into the wheel guide are very small and need to be beefed up, or reinforced with a small screw post-printing. Otherwise, it actually works pretty well; you just have to be gentle with the pegs, and fiddle with the base guide a bit while setting the angle. I printed it as oriented in the STL, with support so the text came out clean.
