Tips on fitting two parts together? - eviltoast

As the title says. I’m new to 3d printing and I’m looking for tips on how make two parts fit together nicely. I’ve read 0.4mm clearance between the two parts modelled together is a nice rule of thumb.

    It depends a lot on your setup and there is no golden rule. Just print small section of your models and try it out. It can be that your outer contours are more accurate than hole dimensions. You can use some slicer tuning (like hole horizontal expansion) or just modify 3D model. I prefer learning my printer errors and then just tuning my 3D models
