Triangular Dovetail Joint

thingiverse

This trick dovetail joint is a marvel of simplicity when assembled, yet appears impossible. Its design has likely existed for over a century; some versions incorporate latches and machinery but key elements remain consistent. For optimal aesthetics, construct Dovetail Triangle1.stl in a darker, opaque material if using two different ones. No support is needed during build as the maximum overhang remains below 45 degrees despite appearance.
