New to OnShape, need help for a pattern

Hello,
So, I have to make a model like the object below to 3D print.
My problem is that I have no idea how I can make a pattern that cuts with triangular shapes.
Anyone could show me step by step ?
Thank you

Yep. I'm using variables to drive everything, and using equations in the input fields to get the values I want. For example, the total length should be#slotGap * (#slotCount + 1) + #slotWidth * #slotCount
You can just type that into the sketch dimension and it will do the math for you.Evan Reese

Those seem to be variables, right ?
Thank you so much for making this file.
