You'd need support round the groove to print this though, unless you printed it vertically with support under the rebate. I don't know how TPU behaves with support though.
That looks perfect! I am beginning to suspect that you are some kind of genius MJ... May I ask how long you have been doing CAD?

In fusion 360 I have designed some jigsaw like connectors for multi piece objects that work quite well. It would probably work for TPU as well.



This groove was printed with supports and was no problem to clean up (ninjaflex).
