Strong 3D Printed Connections on BIG parts @NeedItMakeIt

Uploaded January 2024 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

If we print big, we need strong connections, what's the biggest connection you can think of?

I've seen some attempts at creating enclosure or frames, and they are lacking in a few ways. One is that they don't pull the joint together, they're simply bolted. The end result is something that will shake and wobble, not good enough. There are other designs which require lots of hardware. There are also lots of designs which require supports. I'd like to try to do away with all or at least most of that to try to find the best and strongest connection for joining two large 3d prints together.

It's great to have the big printers, that helps a lot to minimize the joints, unfortunately they're not big enough and we need to join pieces together.

Gluing a connection is a good option, but how do you pull the joint together tight while the glue sets? do you really want to rely only on the glue, or would you rather have both a mechanical connection and a bonded connection as well?

I hope to answer those questions and more as I show off one of the oldest types of connections I can think of and we find out just how strong it is compared to other connections.

$Simple Ways to Make Stronger 3D Prints NUMBER TWO What happens when you do real drop tests on 3d prints? Do they bend, do they break, do they shatter? In this video well find out by testing different materials and designs at several DROP heights. Help support this channel! https://www.patreon.com/Needitmakeit I see a lot of testing videos, some of them are useful to compare materials against each other, but theyre not as useful when you want to apply them to real designs. If we want to protect something, should we use ABS? How about PETG? Or Maybe youre the PC type. I have an okay sense about each of the materials, but I couldnt tell you which material was best to protect expensive equipment, and which material could take continued abuse and not just break after one drop. This video is dedicated to doing realistic dop testing to see if we can get some real answers to those questions so we have a better idea of how to design 3d printed parts, and that we also have a sense about which materials perform the best under which conditions. In the previous video, we tested only PETG, it has a good reputation for being flexible, but it also has this other very strange property of becoming brittle and fracturing at a certain point. In this video were going to see if we can figure out the right mix of flex and strength for that material so we can use it and have the confidence that itll do the job. Which material do you think will perform the best? Check out the video for all of the details, it was a lot of fun, and I learned quite a bit. Lets just say that it isnt all about the size, there is more to it than that. Another way to support this channel indirectly is through my affiliate links (where I receive a small commission).
