in this video, they use 3d print metal as joint for carbon tube

it is a very easy way to build a chassis, however, metal 3d printing is too expensive for normal people

in this web, this carbon tube structures also can hold high loading, only need contact plate, Rivet & epoxy bonding

what if we use both at the same time?

for more easy to see different parts, I use different color for them

a nylon x (carbon fiber nylon 3d print material) as inner joint, its strength is nearly metal and very light

2 aluminum plate as outside joint

special cutting make the tube connect each other, so the force can transfer between the tubes directly.

I like your concept and agree that aluminum plate is better than carbon fiber plate for the concentrated loads at joints. How about building a model of a joint?
