I checked the CAD and it seems to be setup properly. I’m not too sure why it shows high stresses here.
It might be because the front bottom tube is 1.75in height and causes weird behaviour at the tip of the short vertical tube?
Try to extend the short vertical tube past the front bottom tube (1.75in) in spaceclaim?

^This is a bottom view by the way.

I tried to extend the 1.5 tube past the small tube a bit. Had to also extend the short tube past the long tube. ~30mm each.

This removed the max stress at the location, but need to deal with the other one now.
Next Iteration: Add bigger gusset by enlarging it in spaceclaim.
...
It worked hoho.

Gussets were added. Stress did not change at all.

Maybe bonded contacts aren’t appropriate, but the other contacts. Since the X tubes are not initially touching, but can be a source of contact during deformation. Apply changes to Top and Top 30, too if it ends up reducing stresses.

Very strange behaviour with a small spike in stress.
We could maybe fix it by adjusting the position of the horizontal or vertical angled tube.
