Dovetail Test fits

thingiverse

I design die prototypes that extensively utilize dovetails, taking advantage of wire EDM's ability to precision-cut slipp and press fits with ease. To ensure consistency across all my designs, I've created a custom template for prototyping purposes. The attached drawing is optimized for 3D printing, allowing you to print out the template if needed. This experiment showcases your printer's capabilities in producing slip and press fit dovetails, mirroring the results achieved with wire EDM on steel. Initially, the fit will be press fit; however, as the two pieces are moved together, they'll naturally expand into a slip fit.
