The only tell is a slight bump on the seam line of the back. It’s 0.1mm layer heights and 0.6mm thick.
Printed in TPU, I was looking for a solution like this for a future project and wanted to share it with someone.

Yes I am trying to print 2 separate items, this was a test print but the idea would be a print larger than my print bed. I would use this to fuse them together.
The design isn’t the box but the interface. It’s a long slope which causes stair stepping. But while this is considered a defect I am using it to mate 2 parts. First is a slope which is printer friendly then an adjacent slope which would print in the air but I stop the print after the first layer so it’ll print ontop of the already printed part which I position after the first layer.
The models are designed in cad since this is going to be apart of a bigger part. Don’t want to share that yet because it’s not designed yet.
The parts are designed to fuse, that’s the point of this design. Again it’s designed for parts bigger than my print bed.
