These are even better than before
This picture has its own page with more detail, click here to see it.
Until now, I have done these in Fusion 360. But in OnShape they are just as good. If you are a hobby maker like me, then OnShape is free. I have updated the design, there are now only three parameters:
-ID: Inside diameter
-OD: Outside diameter
-Slack: Addition or subtraction for a good fit.
Print all four of these at the same time (turning the embed over in your slicer). Repeat cycles of adjusting the slack parameter and printing again until they fit into and over each other well.
We recommend printing them in multiples of seven: Two natches, two embeds, two clips and one spacer (these are the proportions in which you will be consuming them).
An advantage of OnShape is that it enables sharing; the link is below. You can open and edit this drawing in your browser. Two 3D print it select all four, right click on one of them, export to 3MF format, open that file in your slicer software, position (and replicate/orient items), then print or export to a G-Code file.
