I didn't see an existing topic for this - I hope I didn't miss it.
The latest DrVax video issued a challenge to develop alternate Popstick connector designs. I decided to give it a shot!
If printed in the orientation shown, it has no overhangs steeper than 45 degrees and only very small bridges. Unfortunately, I could not get an "X" hole in the top without introducing supports, so it only has one slot on the side. I plan to revisit this once my printer isn't already printing another project.
One improvement I'd like to explore is adding dovetails to one side so you could slide connectors rotated 45 degrees from each other - that would open up the possibility of sticks going in 8 directions at once!
