Introduction

Fastening parts can involve a variety of issus:

  • Parts need to go together and come apart
  • Parts print better in parts because of support needs or other issues, then need to be put together, perhaps permanently.
  • Parts are too big for printer.
  • Parts need only to go together once, the fastening is permanent.
  • Parts need to be assembled or disassembled without tools.
  • Cost is of importance.
  • Joints should/should not be visible.

Depending on the issues there are different methods that you may wish to apply.
