Dear Makers,

I am currently designing a modular box and need some help on deciding which joints to use (http://www.berlinerbox.com)
Haven’t found a good overview of joints with their dis/advantages regarding stability, speed, usability — yet.

Any links you can recommend? Thanks so much :)

Best from Berlin,
Tito

Hey Tito,

take a look at this page

there is a download link to the files in the top right hand corner. Its probably not exactly what you are looking for, but take a look.

Nice boxes by the way!

Cheers,

Tom.

Thank you so much Tom! I’ve encountered the "50 digital joints" very often but never stumbled upon the complete PDF :)
Seems like the Secret Fingertip Tenons should work in my case...

Thanks,

Tom

The 50 joints link is wonderful. And so is the Flexible Stream link. 

Any more links - 3D / artisan / open source - like this to share?

No other links I am afraid! 
I find pintrest good for inspiration, perhaps a pintrest board specifically for CNC joints would be good? 

Tom.
