The small change I make to my parts to ensure a perfect fit every time.

I have 4 printers, and tollerance of 0.2 works for every printer, but this solution is amazing

I just use a hammer lol

Not only makes it more flexible, it forces the slicer to generate more non-planar walls, making it stronger

I'm an engineer I'd try putting the bearing in the freezer, all depends what the tolerance is but works for an interference fit. Just a thought 👍
@oliver.timm♥ 442026-03-02
Why not just edit the hole precision parameters in the slicer and save the settings?
@just_in_vinczzz♥ 222026-03-03
But will it loose the grip on the bearing it lead to free spin off when gear under some extra load 🤔 ?
@greenietomfish♥ 122026-03-02
Do the fins go past the diameter of the space for the bearing? It seems to do nothing, looks like you just got lucky with the fit
@scaledlayers♥ 62026-03-02
That is awesome. I've seen the theory used for adjustable tolerances on lids of containers but not thought about this 🤔 nice work

The comment about the print farm made this much more valid

when u print a shaft and a hobe that fit into together with this design trick, does shaft and hole diameters are the same in CAD, or is there a cleareance like 0.1 - 0.2 mm?
@designlogic.stp♥ 12026-05-07
I actually like this but does it affect retention at all?
@rendyandityaa♥ 12026-04-01
If I make it like that, do I still have to calculate the tolerance or just use the original size?
@a_r_j_u_n60♥ 12026-03-17
Which bearing is that, can you tell me the number
@maythr33♥ 12026-03-12
What slicer do u use to create models?
@metemakes_2026-04-04
This is a good idea - what material did you print it in?
