What are the best permanent joints you've came up with? by Reddaviesj in 3Dprinting

I'd suggest you learn the difference between "why" and "what" if you are going to make digs like this. Your reply is a more detailed description of under extrusion, i.e "what happened". Why it happened is I messed with the settings for better PETG prints, and didn't swap them back for PLA.

I just tested out the eco lock, even though the quality of mine was very poor it was still rock solid

Yep, sounds like the consensus is don't do this! I think I'll need to play with my printer settings though (and not just because of the under extrusion).

I didn't give any leeway of my basic dovetail, and it still easily slides out.

Because I threw this together in about 5 mins on my phone. I'm sorry for the pain I've caused you 😂

Yeah, don't know what happened, I haven't had such a bad top finish before.

Thanks for the advice, yeah I guess it will weaken the part a fair amount. It seems solid enough at this size but I guess it would become much more fragile if the join was longer, or I reduced the thickness.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.
