@rahix Are you thinking about adding a section on alignment pegs in your functional printing guide?

This is the way I use them. The parts are held together by screws, and the pegs make it easy to get the screws aligned and started. I can also keep the parts from being assembled the wrong way around by using asymmetric pegs. These parts have significant taper because the screws create the final alignment.

I am printing a ramp to help our robot vacuum get over the threshold into the laundry room. Three of four sections are printed, plus a couple of test prints in black. I'm trying to use layer lines as a design element. N.B., the herringbones are not parallel -- they're straight at the edges and diagonal in the middle. I got the effect by lofting from a flat edge to a shallow sawtooth and back.
