I am coming to this a bit late but here is an easy and accurate way to get 3 or six positions for any circle.

Mark a center point on a paper that is lager than your circle.

Draw a circle using a compass (a divider with a pencil) close to the size that you are going to put the legs on.

Mark a point on the circle to use as a new center

Using the same compass set at the same radius that you used to draw the circle make a mark that crosses the circle on both sides from the marked point on the circle

From each of those marks use the compass to mark another mark toward the unmarked area.

From those two marks use the compass to make a new mark - they should end up in the same place if you have been careful and the compass didn't move.

You end up with a center point and six equally spaced marks around the circle. All you have to do now is draw straight lines from each oposite side of the circle through the center point and you have six lines from the center out - equally spaced.

Use that as a template to mark your work and you have equally spaced legs.
