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.

I was just looking for general tips that could apply to wide arrangement of situations. This post was more to the get the conversation going in this community. I have a few ideas I have yet to test out and when they don’t pan out I’ll make a post.
From an engineering perspective, “fits” run the gamat from a tight press fit where you’ll need heat or pressure to get the parts together, or a running and sliding fit which simply means the parts slide against each other loosely. It’s such a wide range that’s why it’s hard to give an answer out.
