Mini Scaf

Mini Scaf is another solution to a parkour problem. We use “Scaffolding” Scaf for short to make pop up play structures to train and run classes on. These structures are made from steel pipe and connectors most commonly Kee Klamps. We can design and build fairly simple structures for small classes or events easily with a paper sketch. For bigger installations or events we want to build more complex structures. I have experimented with different design systems to use CAD to create the drawings and plans for these structures but nothing has been quite right for one reason or another. When I started to learn more about 3d printing I thought that I could design a set of miniature versions of these connectors and make small models of the scaf sets. I could then either bring the physical model or photograph and annotate it to become a build plan.

This setup was for a ~100 person workshop. Models made brainstorming designs that work together much faster.

A simple design kit.

I have used these kits to teach kids about designing parkour structures. All of these designs were made by students and then we collaborated on designing the real stucture that we used for the class that day.

I sell these kits if you want a set fill out the order form.
