When You were designing Your own parts for 3D printing, You eventually came to a point while using tight tolerances wasn’t reliable. It is especially when printing:

• with different materials.
• on different 3D printers.
• on different slicers.
• on different layer height.

All these problems comes from flowrate settings, extruder calibration differences, differences in material diameter etc. These boxes will help You establish what hole sizes You need to use in Your project.

There is also another problem. Often holes printed in XY plane are smaller than these printed in XZ or YZ plane. So in these boxes You have holes made in two planes. With these You can easily check if Your parts will gonna fit in desired hole in desired plane and check the tolerances.

In this thing You will find boxes with holes from 0.1 mm to 5.5 mm. If You want to make Your own sizes You will also find .ipt file to generate it by changing hole parameter.

Remember that it’s important to think about planes in which holes will be printed, so You can choose right size.
