  <p>For the axle with stud on one side you could also use a smaller pin connector 18654.</p>

Body: <p>I'm trying to build railing using axles and connectors and am not finding an easy way to get the axles that go to the ground to connect in a way that would be best for my design. Three options I've found so far is using <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4032#T=C" rel="noreferrer">4032</a>, <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3941#T=C" rel="noreferrer">3941</a>, or <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3713#T=C" rel="noreferrer">3713</a>. I like 3713 because it has a smaller profile, but it cannot be placed directly on a stud, which causes two problems: 1) the railings are slightly inside of the plate (less problematic to me); 2) I cannot cover the surrounding studs with tiles, which I'd like to do. Seems another option could be using <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=11458#T=C" rel="noreferrer">11458</a>. That would also offset the railing, but I could cover the stud with a 1x1 tile. I could also use a technic <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3700#T=C" rel="noreferrer">3700</a> or <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32064#T=C" rel="noreferrer">32064</a>, but again, offset and you lose the smaller profile. I'm wondering if I'm not missing some socket sticking straight up that would solve the problem.</p>

Title: Connecting an axle to a stud on the ground for railings

ThreadText: # Connecting an axle to a stud on the ground for railings
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-11-29)
  
  I'm trying to build railing using axles and connectors and am not finding an easy way to get the axles that go to the ground to connect in a way that would be best for my design. Three options I've found so far is using [4032](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4032#T=C), [3941](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3941#T=C), or [3713](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3713#T=C). I like 3713 because it has a smaller profile, but it cannot be placed directly on a stud, which causes two problems: 1) the railings are slightly inside of the plate (less problematic to me); 2) I cannot cover the surrounding studs with tiles, which I'd like to do. Seems another option could be using [11458](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=11458#T=C). That would also offset the railing, but I could cover the stud with a 1x1 tile. I could also use a technic [3700](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3700#T=C) or [32064](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32064#T=C), but again, offset and you lose the smaller profile. I'm wondering if I'm not missing some socket sticking straight up that would solve the problem.
