Description

This is a 3D printed dovetail joint test model for connecting two printed parts without screws or glue.

It includes the two final connector versions from the video:

  • Tapered dovetail version - rounded edges, and a small taper for smoother assembly.
  • Angled split dovetail version - a hidden dovetail with a longer internal engagement path to bring back more contact area and strength.

🧩 These parts are meant as test pieces, so you can print them, feel the fit, and adapt the design idea to your own projects.

⚠️ The clearance values are based on my printer and filament, so your printed fit may feel different, but the design logic is the same.
