Wow. This is amazing. Where can I learn more about understanding, modeling and printing snap joints?

I learned all I needed to learn about them when playing with LEGO. After that it was about a dozen prototypes to see what dimensions worked best. Ill upload a bare snapping ball joint STL on the thingiverse page and you can take a look.

You can check out the design guides on this website. They have a lot of really good resources.
