What are the joints you used!!!

just wanted to know

what kind of joints(circle, dove tail, etc.......) you use and what for kind of different applications?

do you design them your self?

some tips on how i can design them better based on your experience? tolerance to use, settings high weight, length of joints to part ration etc......??

RE: What are the joints you used!!!

I've done a few items with hybrid box dovetail joints (e.g. lasercutter type box joints, but with a 5 degree angle to have them "prefer" to snap tight). Structure wasn't critical, so I just went with what looked proportionally good. I designed with zero clearance and I think they ended up with just the right amount of tight for me.
