In the previous video we looked at several different ways to improve the dovetail connection by adapting it and taking advantage of the 3D printing process. In this video, we're going to see if we can create 2 completely new connections which are both inspired by some of the best woodworking connections. We are are taking it even further with the goal to achieve the connection which is the strongest which can handle forces in tension, compression and in torsion.

For this video, I've used the Bambu X1C and the QIDI Q1 Pro just like the last video; the filament was Bambu PETGCF in Brick Red and in Titan Grey linked below (I receive a small commission if purchased through my link and it helps me continue to make videos like these):
