"Mastering 3D Printed Joinery with Heat Staking"
When 3D printing parts as a single piece isn't feasible, heat-staking offers a solution for joining plastic components together. This technique involves using a soldering iron and pressure to soften and spread out the plastic, creating a strong joint without the need for additional hardware. Heat-staking allows for optimized layer lines in each aspect of a part and could be a valuable technique to consider in certain applications.
