-This is a simple compass used for drawing circles A must have in the pencil case of students and design enthusiasts alike.

Once printed, the assembly is very easy and can be completed in only a few steps.

(The Printed nut and bolt are not strictly necessary and could just as well be substituted for metal parts. the nut and bolt are M6)

1. Place the two sides together with the flat back faces touching and the holes aligned.
2. Insert the printed nut into the cut-out of the same shape.
3. Screw the printed flat head screw into the nut through the holes in the compasses, be careful not to over tighten as this will increase the resistance when moving the compass legs.
4. The stud screw can be screwed in by hand into the pencil holder.

To use the compass once assembled simply loosen the pencil screw and insert your pencil. Once the tip is aligned with the point of the other leg re-tighten the screw to hold it in place and adjust the leg distance to suit the radius you wish to draw.

If you wish to remix the compass, please do! Id love to see some stylised versions of this simple design.

Happy Circles,
