This is a connector that can be added to your own designs in order to allow 2 parts to snap together and unsnap again without too much effort. Snaps and unsnaps well using PLA, might need some adjustments for other materials.

The block has a plug and hole so you can try it out and see if it fits your purposes.

Printing:

Can print with any infill, I usually use 15%.

I have used this connector successfully in several other designs. So if you use this connector in your designs, they will be able to plug in to mine. Which is the point!

Post-Printing =============

Just try printing out 2 blocks and try plugging and unplugging them, you will get an idea if the connector works for you. You should hear a little snap when you push it all the way in. You could print out a bunch of these and just keep plugging and unplugging, it's pretty fun, sort of like popping bubble wrap! But that wasn't the original intention!

How I Designed This

Used Tinkercad. And a lot of printing and tweaking!
