#Customizable Truss Brackets
Create brackets for square or rectangular beam trusses. The bracket design allows for plenty of glue surface and support. It works with the Customizer app, or use OpenSCAD. Versions are included for both metric and imperial units. Prints flat and allows for quick assembly of trusses without requiring an accurate miter joint at the ends of the beams (see photos). STLs included for both 1/8" and 1/4" beam trusses. Prototype truss was assembled using 1/8" balsa and CA glue.
## Parameters include:
* Beam width, height, and angle
* Number of intersecting beams (up to 8)
* Flange and surround length, width, and thickness
* Web overhang offset
* Fillet radius
## Revision History
Update 1 - 2018-12-31 - added 1/4 inch beam STLs
