Hi Axel,
What are you using to screw the bolts in, thermal inserts, embedded nuts, … ?
Roel
Triangles and connectors are in ASA (for outdoor application). There are 3.9mm holes in the connectors to hold the screws that are stainless steel M4 / 8 : it's enough for these decorative objects that have no other functions.
The screws themselves thread into the plastic. It does not take force to screw them and not exaggerate the tightening !
There are also small tenons to guide and position the triangles on the different faces of the connectors (connectors with 5 or 6 faces depending on the case).
The faces of the connectors perfectly orient the triangles in the right direction.
To get an idea, the red connector is 30mm in diameter.
