Stuff Made Here used carbon fiber for their frisbee gripper mechanism in this video. For their gipper they used a combination of slotting and screwing parts together which is what we are attempting for our carbon fiber drone components.
We need to add relief cuts to the rectangles to maintain the edge to edge contact with the vertical plates but enable a router to actually cut the pieces.
We followed the process that Spartan Robotics explained in their tutorial found here. |

The back vertical wall with relief cuts. We are able to maintain the flush faces together. |
Without the relief cuts and with a filet of ⅛ in we see we have lost the flush edges and these parts can no longer interface together due to the intersecting geometries. |
