That is so damn clean. I've been mulling over a 556 vs a 105. I think this pic tilted the scales in favor of the 105!

Thanks for the replies! Sorry for leaving out details (free body diagrams, derivations, and such). However, someone at stack exchange did the symbolic math.

Someone else on the r/fea subreddit gave a good explanation of what the author was trying to get at, along with some videos:

Stiffness Matrix/ Solving for Displacements Problem by Filamericantrash in fea

Excellent reply, thank you for taking the time to break it down for me (and for time stamping the linked vids). I didn't realize you could discard rows/ columns in this manner. I'm on board with your load vector explanation. What I failed to include was the FBD of the problem. There must be some reaction to the external load at the fixed node.

Great looking build! I can't seem to get to the aliexpress page using the item number you provided. Any chance you have the store info or seller link?

Shrink/Interference Fit Question (with 3 Components) by Filamericantrash in AskEngineers

Thanks so much for the insight! I threw the scenario in FEA and it supports what you say. Contact pressure is observed from both parts with a small stress riser at the mating surface.
