Description

When I was younger, I came across a visual model of the Pythagoras Theorem. It was made out of acrylic and filled with liquid that flowed from one chamber to the others. This really helped me understand the concept of a² + b² = c² because the liquid almost perfectly filled the chambers. Inspired by that, I now created this model which allows you to place 3D printer poop and other objects like marbles inside to show how the theorem works by shaking them around.

Assembly instructions

  1. Place objects into the biggest square of the base and cover the whole floor with it.
  2. Place the triangle in the middle, it just sits loosely on top
  3. Now put the three squares on their position and check if they are the right way around
  4. Push the squares down until they click into the groove of the base. 

When all the squares are installed, they should lock the middle triangle and everything should be tight together. Now you can shake the objects around to make them go into the different chambers and show that a² + b² = c².
