Comment on How to design a print with better tolerances – Slant 3D (12:34)
TheButtonJustSpins@infosec.pub 4 days agoI’m still trying to get the hang of that sort of fit. I saw it in a video about crush ribs but it didn’t work when I tried it. Will keep at it until I figure it out, though.

Just do small test prints first. For a table saw feather board in PLA this worked but it is length and material dependant.

Calipers are consistent for the 2.6mm but too dead of a battery to charge the capacitive sensor past around 50mm so the scale shows ~63mm long. I think the optimum angle is around 30° but don’t quote me. I just imported an image of another feather board and used it to get basic working dimensions. You only need to know 1 measurement in a flat image in CAD to calibrate the size for use in the background to draw your sketches on top of. With a table saw feather board, you know the slot dimensions. You could easily screenshot the video’s sketch of the feather pattern here, import that and make a copy at any scale in FreeCAD. Mango Jelly has YT vids about this if you need them.
