The base plate serves as the basis for the experiments. Magnetic spheres are inserted into it, which serve as a holder for the modular construction kit. It enables the adjustment of various experiments and can be printed in different sizes as required. Connectors can be used to connect several base plates together.
On this page you will find information on assembly and special features.

Special features
Size of the base plate
The base plate is available in different sizes. The 4×6 size is sufficient for all experiments, but can only be printed in one piece on very large 3D printers. For smaller printers, there is a variant in which 2 plates of size 3×4 can be connected to form a 4×6 plate using connectors (00B_Bl_V*_connector_basepl.) and the base plate tool. The connectors are pressed apart and inserted from the appropriate side.
Base plate tool
You will need the base plate tool to assemble several base plates into a larger one. This can be used to tighten the connectors in the openings.
