This object is meant to be used for educational purposes. There are 4 seperate .stl files that must be printed in order to make the entire design work. Once put together, the "TriTile" acts as a slider to show that "Tri" is the prefix of both "Cycle" and Angle". The prefix "Tri" means "three". By adding tri in front of these words we can see that a tricycle has three cycles(wheels) and a triangle has three angles.This is a simple slider that can be passed around during class to help students visualize the use of prefixes in the english language.
Using PLA, the print will cost ~ $1.15.
There is no commercial variant for this specific object.

Print all 4 .stl files and combine them to look like the picture above. The "TriTile" should be able to slide up and down.
Depending on the accuracy of your printer, you might need to scale the sliders to be a little smaller or bigger. My printer required that the scaling be 200% for the outer board and 195% for each tile.
