Yet another dovetail box design, I should know. It began as a practice exercise in Fusion 360 to learn how to design this box optimally (I think I've finally got the hang of it). And once you've designed it, you'll want to print it out too, right? ...

You're going to have to get creative with your dovetail puzzle build because these components don't come with any built-in tolerance, so you'll need to either add your own or take a file to them after they've been printed. When assembling the pieces,...

My first encounter with this puzzle was on YouTube. Someone had machined one from aluminum. Thought to myself, I need one. On the video they mentioned there was only 50 machined, my first thought was "Great, I'll never have one". Then I got a 3D...
