Designing for 3D printing

• Dimension vertical holes 0.4mm bigger
• Experiment with “Horizontal expansion” in Cura. Use negative values when the outer dimensions of parts are too big.
• Clearance (guidance values. Need tuning for different machines, materials and temperatures).
  • 0.15mm: snug friction fit
  • 0.20mm: able to slide easily
• Print slower (±30mm/s) for better accuracy. In Cura there's an 'engineering' print profile (only available for Ultimaker S5) that tunes parameters for best dimensional accuracy.
