Stained Glass Layout System
Set the biggest panel you build; the kit composes every size up to it. Bars sized to your printer.
$7.00
Snap-together bars and corners that hold the outer bounds of a stained glass panel while you build it. Tell it the biggest panel you work on and it solves the kit — the bar ladder composes every size up to that, so one box lays out hundreds of different panels.
Configure & buy
A panel is only square if something holds it square. These are the forms that do it: flat bars that snap end to end, and 90° corners that lock them into a rectangle you can build against.
The corners add nothing to the opening. The corner square is exactly the width of a bar, so it sits entirely in the crossing zone where two sides meet — which means the opening is the sum of the bar lengths and nothing else. Lay out 200 + 100 and you get a 300 mm side. The number on the bars is the number you get.
You do not pick a piece list. You say the largest panel you want to lay out and the kit is solved from that — several of every length, because opposite sides of a rectangle need matching pieces and a bar without a twin can never go into a panel at all. A kit for 1000 mm panels builds 780 different rectangles in 25 mm steps.
Metric or imperial, and the two interchange: the joint, the 15 mm width and the 4.5 mm thickness are shared, so only the ladder and the engraved labels differ. Every bar carries its own length, engraved deep enough to take a second color.
Add the folding case and it is sized to the kit you just solved — packed the way you would pack it, bars on their side, and a hinge that prints already working.
Highlights
You set the panel, not the parts
Say the biggest panel you build and the kit is solved from it — every length, in matched pairs.
Corners add nothing
The corner square equals the bar width, so the opening is exactly the sum of the bars. Verified on the built geometry, not assumed.
Metric and imperial interchange
Same joint, same 15 mm width. Only the ladder and the engraved labels differ, so pieces from either kit snap together.
Engraved lengths, two-color ready
Every bar is labelled 0.8 mm deep with a matching flush inlay, so the size reads at a glance.
Sized to your printer
The long bar is dropped automatically if your bed cannot take it, and the kit makes up the difference in shorter bars.
Folding case, sized to the kit
An optional case solved from the pieces it has to hold, with a hinge that prints in place and comes off the plate working.
