- size nuts and bolts: M3, special square headed bolts
- material nuts and bolts: stainless steel
- brackets: different typs and angles
- bracket material: stainless steel
- stiffness area: 48,16mm²
- polar moment of inertia of the area, at the centroid = 982,37mm⁴
- principal moments of inertia of the area, at the centroid
lx = 491,18mm⁴
ly = 491,18mm⁴

MakerBeamXL Specifications
- dimensions: 15x15mm width and height, length is variable
- threaded hole each end: 2,5mm in diameter sized for M3, 8mm deep
- weight: 0,297 gram per mm
- material: aluminum , v2.1 6063-T5 black anodised
- size nuts and bolts: M3, each of the 4 slots are designed to capture a regular DIN934 M3 nut.
- material nuts and bolts: stainless steel
- brackets: different types and angles, see shop.
OpenBeam brackets are all MakerBeamXL compatible.
A number of MakerBeam stainless steel brackets are MakerBeamXL compatible.
- bracket material: stainless steel
- stiffness area: 113,52mm²
- polar moment of inertia of the area, at the centroid = 4705,05mm⁴
- principal moments of inertia of the area, at the centroid
lx = 2352,52mm⁴
ly = 2352,52mm⁴
Fun fact: MakerBeamXL is fischer technik compatible.
OpenBeam Specifications
- dimensions: 15x15mm width and height, length is variable
- hollow core: the hole that runs down the extrusion is sized for an M3 sized tap.
- weight: 0,297 gram per mm
- material: aluminum , 6063-T5 black anodised
- size nuts and bolts: M3, each of the 4 slots are designed to capture a regular DIN934 M3 nut.
Brackets can then be attached to these nuts. With a quick turn of a 2mm hex key, the brackets can be repositioned
anywhere along the beam. Adjusting and tuning an OpenBeam frame is therefore very easy.
- material nuts and bolts: stainless steel
- brackets: different types and angles
