You will also need a measurement jig to get the distance between the corner vertices the same. I created a jig using one of the other bits if M8 rod, 4 nuts and 2 washers. I assembled the jig so that the outside of the two washers was 290mm apart. Then used it when tightening the nuts on the vertex pieces to ensure the spacing was right. LaserCutFrameTriangleJig.jpg
