Comment on Modernizing the best Woodworking Joint to use for 3D Printing
mipadaitu@lemmy.world 2 months agoI think the video is better as a way to show some design techniques, than as a demonstration of dovetails as a connector.
That being said, if you didn’t need a permanent connection, it does seem like a decent way to make something that can come apart easily. Wondering how strong it would be after multiple assembles and disassembles.

I’ve done some dovetails for a puzzle design before. They were meant to assemble and disassemble in multiple orientations.
Depending on the late line directions the problem I had was getting the fit tight enough to not fall apart, but not too tight to remove. I abandoned it because PLA also absorb water and they became stuck after sitting in humidity for a few days.
