In this video, we break down the most reliable ways to connect multi-part prints — without relying on perfect tolerances, support-heavy features, or fragile pegs. You’ll see why common connectors fail, and better options you can use instead, from diamond pegs and slab-and-slot joints to spring-loaded T-slots, snap fits, and advanced locking tabs. Whether you’re making terrain, models, or large assemblies, these design rules help your parts fit cleanly, hold tightly, and print reliably on any machine.
