If we print big, we need strong connections, what's the biggest connection you can think of?

I've seen some attempts at creating enclosure or frames, and they are lacking in a few ways. One is that they don't pull the joint together, they're simply bolted. The end result is something that will shake and wobble, not good enough. There are other designs which require lots of hardware. There are also lots of designs which require supports. I'd like to try to do away with all or at least most of that to try to find the best and strongest connection for joining two large 3d prints together.

It's great to have the big printers, that helps a lot to minimize the joints, unfortunately they're not big enough and we need to join pieces together.

Gluing a connection is a good option, but how do you pull the joint together tight while the glue sets? do you really want to rely only on the glue, or would you rather have both a mechanical connection and a bonded connection as well?

I hope to answer those questions and more as I show off one of the oldest types of connections I can think of and we find out just how strong it is compared to other connections.
