I need some general engineering help. I'm trying to make a complex part on the 3D printer but I'm not sure how to make things fit together. In woodwork, there's a dovetail joint that you can use to fit many corners together. But how do you do shit like this in 3D? Use glue? But glue joins are shit and break off. Printing it as one piece is no good because I'd like to be able to take it apart to fit things inside.

Are there any "simple engineering and design of parts for idiots" resources? Like pics of examples of how things fit together?

I'm learning FreeCAD but I find it incredibly hard to make anything since I don't have a grasp of how things can and should connect to each other...
