Description
History:
Construx is a brand of plastic building toys introduced by Fisher-Price in 1983. Construx feature beam-like pieces of varying lengths that snapped on to cubical connector knots in order to build large shapes. These are relatively secure even though no nuts or bolts were used. Panels allowed assembly of flat surfaces. Hinges, motors, wheels, and other movable parts expand the number of different shapes that can be built, and make moving creations possible. Construx was discontinued in 1988, briefly revived by Mattel in 1997, and then discontinued again.
Unfortunately, some of the parts in my set broke due to age and kids playing rough :)
I couldn't find this Fisher Price Construx part on the internet , so I designed it myself - based on original parts.
I made it a bit stronger for 3d printing.
These were printed from PLA+ with supports being needed for the arches. Best to print in 25% infill.

0.2mm layer, 3 walls, 25% infill
Enjoy!
