Cuts a model into printable pieces along a line you draw and joins them with a locking dovetail key in Blender.

What Dovetail Key does

Dovetail Key is a Blender plugin for 3D printing large models. You draw a line or freehand curve, and it slices the model there, affecting only geometry beneath the stroke, then connects the parts with a dovetail key.

Freehand Cut lets the cut follow any curve you draw. The key locks the pieces together, and the process takes two clicks. Handy for fitting big prints on a small bed. It simplifies assembly after printing.

Key features

  • Draw-to-Cut slicing
  • Freehand curved cuts
  • Self-locking dovetail joints
  • Rest of the model left intact
