This was previously discussed: Doing that specific sort of joint in Carbide Create requires using unsupported tooling: But if the joint is simplified, and one accepts voids: [screengrab] [screengrab] then one can cut parts: [WIN_20221115_21_46_08_Pro] which fit together quite well: [WIN_20221118_18_15_50_Pro] [WIN_20221118_18_17_28_Pro]
