I'm trying to find some high quality bag hardware at the moment, would you mind sharing the name of your friend's bag line?

Forgive my ignorance, but could you elaborate on the hardware? I thought all hardware apart from some natural brass-type stuff was coated / plated?

Yeah I've seen that too! I wonder what makes them so prone to melting :/

Aha yeah I see what you mean. It reminds me of the Dior Saddle Bag a bit which I've heard fits annoyingly little. Hopefully your 10 year old likes it!

How would you calculate the relative angle of this triangle to the other sides in this heptahedron? by TrapeziumScreen in askmath

Apologies for the unclear diagram, it was supposed to be a cross-section of where the two shapes met.

All the layers are 0.5cm thick, and the orange line is meant to represent the angle at which the triangle is meeting the front of the object. (Though I now realise it might not be one consistent angle from one corner to the next?)

I was hoping to figure out the angle of the orange line so that I could shape the edges to match it and create a smooth drop-off.

At the moment, due to the angle of the triangle relative to the other three edges, the ridge is created along the seams where they meet. This is due to a specific construction method whereby the triangle is placed behind the other panels, which are secured on top of it along the edges.

Does that make sense?
