WORKING SYNOVIAL JOINT MODEL - PLANE (like the small bones of the wrist)
Customizable parametric teaching model - sizes and clearances are sliders in TrueGeometry Playground (free, in the browser).
A flat plate glides in all directions inside a shallow rail frame, like the small carpal bones sliding over each other in your wrist. Turn the knob to push it around.
This is one of six models in the Synovial Joint Teaching Set (hinge, ball-and-socket, pivot, saddle, plane, ellipsoid) - collect the full set for the classroom.
SIMPLIFIED TEACHING MODEL - not anatomically exact. For education and demonstration only. Not a medical device, and no medical claims are made.
WHAT YOU GET
Full assembly STL (all parts in place, print-in-place)- The complete TrueGeometry Playground recipe (customize sizes, $GAP clearance)
How-to-run-scripts guide (PDF)
PRINT NOTES
No supports needed; parts print in place with $GAP clearance (default 0.4 mm). Tune $GAP for your printer.
Overlapping shells are intentional - the slicer merges them. No booleans at all in this model.
PLA works well.
