Download Free 3D Model Tolerances – Margin Checking 3D Print Model

Summary
USE TWO SHELLS ONLY ON TOLERANCE BOARD –
With 0.4mm nozzle or above it will be similar to 100% infill and have slightly different results, print 100% infill later to compare results ####
Objects are designed to test the margins/tolerances of your 3D printer.
By knowing the tolerances your printer creates with, you can make adjustments int he model and get near perfect results.
Tolerance objects are small so they are quick to print and exist around the 5mm mark for checking (4.8 – 5.3 mm). Holes with consisting pins consist of Semi Circle, Square, Circle and Hex (for allen keys).
Print the tolerance board, to check tolerance of holes;
use vernier calipers to check the sizes of holes
use real time objects to see how they fit
print the ‘pins’ which fit the holes to see which one fits
Choose a set of ‘pins’ with handles for easy manipulation ;
“Tolerances-All_4_8.stl” – has pins of 4.8mm
“Tolerances-All_4_9.stl” – has pins of 4.9mm
“Tolerances-All_5_0.stl” – has pins of 5.0mm…
…”Tolerances-All_5_3.stl” – has pins of 5.3mm
Discover tolerances between Prints and real world objects and between two separate prints. This will allow for easy designing of functioning parts int he future.
