Looking for triangular rods

[atom12]

I am looking for triangular rod around 1cm a side. I know that plastructs has some but they are small. Anyone know who else would make them.

Thanks

I know of no one that makes triangular strip of that size. Depending on the angles you need (right, equilateral, obtuse), you can make it pretty quick yourself. That might be your only option.

Tamiya has right angle triangle strip, as does Evergreen IIRC. Found some equilateral stuff from...from... crap canna remember their name.

You didn't describe how wide each side of the rod is. In general, anything 2mm or larger, I just scratchbuild. Takes a little practice, assembling the long strips, but you'd be surprised how accurately you can cut a strip of 12" sheet.

Though here's another trick I often use. I assemble against a big section of sheet, and cut my final part out of it. For example, if I was to build an equilateral triangle cross section rod, I'd mark out the final width on a section of sheet wider than the final product. Plus draw a center line. Orthogonal to the sheet, and on the center line, I'd glue a guide strip, just tall enough to support the final sides, but short enough to be under or inside the final side walls. Then using the layout lines, I'd glue strips to the extra wide 'base' and to the guide strip. After everything has setup, I'll trim off the excess on the base, using the strips I glued to the 'base' as a guide for the no. 11 blade. Some quick sanding, and the rod is ready to install. But I'm silly that way, scratchbuilding if its not already in my supply bin.
