Helpful hints

For a part that needs to fit tightly within another part, design them so that they have 0.25mm clearance on all sides.(You may have to test this, as shrinkage occurs and your printing may be different).

For a part that must easily slide within another part, design them so that they have 0.5mm clearance on all sides.

1 millimeter = 0.0393700787 inches
