Problem with assembling and disassembling prints
I'm trying to create a sign for a business as a class project, but the backplate is too large to fit in a single print, so I'm cutting it into quarters. I've been using Bambu Labs to try to cut the parts and add connectors, but every print I've done doesn't fit together properly.
I'm looking for advice on how to design snap-fit connectors along the cut lines between the quarters. Ideally the pieces press together face-down (Z axis) and snap into place, locking against any sliding in the X and Y directions, so the sign stays together even if it falls over. The only way to take it apart should be to flex or press the snap tabs to release them.
Has anyone had luck with push-fit pegs and sockets for something like this? I'm also wondering if press-fit tolerance is something I should be adjusting in Bambu to get a tighter hold at the joints.
