I can model the connector but when trying to assembly the tetra the constraints bomb.

I have tried checking the angle of the three faces and all seems OK (the same). I am not sure if it is an Inventor fold command variance or errors in my sketch that produces angle error when the connector gets folded to the 35.3d angle.
I can't say that I have a solution (yet) but I am sure the 35.3 degree angle is rounded off. I'll be continuing to work on it ... until I have a solution or someone beats me to it ...
