Half Straight Rail

R-02

Shape of Half Straight Rail

A straight rail exactly half the standard length. Use it to fine-tune the length of a loop.

Build with Straight Rails alone and the shapes that close come only in coarse steps. Just one half-length rail greatly widens the range of shapes you can reach.

When that is still not enough, there is the even finer Quarter Straight Rail.

Tips for building

  • 1/2 the length of a Straight Rail.

Build with these exact dimensions

You can lay out every part, Half Straight Rail included, using real-world dimensions. It accounts for the free play in every joint, so you know whether the loop closes before you build.
