I ordered an @Ultimaker and I am now learning to use Blender. I want to make a laptop stand where a few parts should be joined together.
Since I am fiddling with Blender, I modelled a piece that should snap into another piece with small bumps.
Are there standard designs to make these joints?

I think OpenSCAD has some libraries of standard objects, don’t know about this.
I found a connector on Thingiverse:
Looks pretty useful to snap parts together.
You could just put a solid piece infront and do a subtraction.then it will fit just right. I used to use maya for my modeling and switched over to blender a few months ago, I love it.
I discovered the boolean operators to subtract other solids to make holes for the connector, very nice.
