Tolerance Tester

Update: added 0.15 and 0.25 tolerance testers. --- Print to test tolerance needed for a box lid. My results with PLA (BLUE): Tolerance (all four sides): 0.0mm: impossible to get lid onto box 0.1mm: very tight, lid can go on but could become permanently attached 0.2mm: tight enough to stay on but loose enough to come off easily, might be sufficient for a light use lid 0.3mm: easy on/off of lid with no excess tolerance, probably ideal for snapping points 0.4mm: easy on/off lid with some excess tolerance, may be suitable for snap or hinge points 0.5mm: too loose, excessive tolerance My results with TPU (WHITE): 0.0mm tight to get on, stays on snugly but can be removed easily 0.1mm slightly easier to get on, stays on snugly and easy to remove 0.2mm easy to get on, fits snugly but can come off effortlessly, might work well with snapping nubs 0.3mm very easy to get on, doesn't stay on by itself well, requires snapping support 0.4mm too loose 0.5mm extremely loose
