Tolerantiemeter / Tolerances

thingiverse

Would you like to know how large a rounding you should draw to make an axle turn well? Or how big your hole needs to be to fit a pin tightly? Then you're dealing with tolerances. Print this tolerance meter and use it in your designs or lessons. That way, you don't have to keep making test prints until you find the right size of hole or calculate the tolerances yourself. Simply adjust the diameter of your hole on the tolerance meter. That saves a lot of calculations and filament! Note: - Print the tolerance meter with stable color filament (not yellow). - The circles of the tolerance meter are drawn in SketchUp, assuming by default that a circle consists of 24 segments. This was done intentionally because we work with many students who don't know how to adjust their sides yet. Want to draw circles that are rounder because you're working in another program? Make your own tolerance meter!
