Tolerance Finder

For years I have seen people struggle with getting parts to fit together well. There did not seem to be a good method of finding the correct tolerance between parts (gap in the model).

I created six different testers and each one has a different range of offsets. All units are in **millimeters**. Typically I find that if your working with two 3d printed parts there needs to be a offset of .25mm on one of the parts (or you can get fancy and add half to both parts). Similarly if you are working with one 3d printed part and one non 3d printed part (a metal rod, screw, etc) you need a offset of about .13mm. These are just ballparks ideas of where to start and each machine, slicer settings, and nozzle diameter will give different results.


(Select tester size you want + 5mm Rod + 5mm Square Rod)


**note:**
- on some machines the offset needed in one direction (x) may not be the same as the offset needed in the other direction (Y) due to low quality build parts.
