Parametric Print-in-Place Tolerance Test: A No-Nonsense Approach To quickly and easily test print-in-place tolerances, follow this straightforward method: 1. Utilize the Customizer to create a test part tailored specifically for your required tolerance. 2. The part is designed to be small and quick to print, ensuring minimal waste of time and material. 3. Adjustable parameters allow you to fine-tune the test as needed. 4. A clean design facilitates accurate measurements by eliminating common issues such as: * Elephant foot * Top layer overhang * Uneven x/y axes measurement due to a square shape To verify the design's integrity, an OpenSCAD source is included. The example STL file features a bolt edge length of 8 mm and a tolerance of 0.25 mm. This test was designed as a response to the limitations of existing tolerance tests, which often presented a single large part with all measurements. This approach resulted in wasted time and material when re-printing multiple times to refine results. The design's unique "waist" allows for faster printing without compromising bed adhesion or mechanical stability.
