I have a simple tripod that is constructed from three tapered cylinders as shown in the first image. After printing I have found that the join between the legs is fragile. I want to add webbing to increase the strength. I am not sure how to do this. I have tried sketching on webbing, with the idea of extruding it, but it doesn't join to the mesh. I would appreciate some pointers as to how achieve my outcome.
I am very grateful to those talented folk who can change my model to add the webbing. In this case I really want to know how to do it myself rather than having someone do it for me. I hope you understand!

Maybe like this?
And you can fillet it
Is it really that small?
In this size you will always have difficulties with printing in FDM.
Thanks - yes, it is that small - it is a model boat. The printing is surprising good, just needs a touch of strengthening.
What are the steps you took to add those filets? I would normally call them filets, but Fusion uses that term to the processing of adding material to the inside of a shape and removing from the outside of the shape to create a smooth edge.
What I have made are so-called gusset plates.
The plate between the two diagonal supports would be a triangular plate. I have made a cut-out so that it can be printed without support.
To draw the plates, a plane must be created through the axles.
If you don't necessarily want it to be based on a specific model, you could perhaps make it a little more elegant.
Instead of plates, I would then create larger transitions.
But this is only possible in surface mode.
