Tolerance Tester

Tolerance Tester
===

This was inspired by the one from Maker's Muse. Except 5 hours for a test was a little much, so I designed a much smaller one. Here is a quick 10 min test tolerance test. Well, actually 11-12 mins on 0.2 layer height or 8-9 mins on 0.2 layer height. This is the smallest tolerance gauge I could make that was still structurally sound.

I have included the various tolerances from 0.10 to 0.3. If you want to adjust something, you can get the fusion 360 file here: https://a360.co/2rC0wYY

The gist of how it works is the "Tol" variable sets the gap between the core and the frame. If your printer is not precise enough, the gap may be too small/overlap and fuse together. That will prevent rotation so you would need to try the file one step up. If it's just one layer fusing, you can usually pry it to free up rotation. If you find a file that rotates freely immediately without prying, that should be your default gap size when designing parts that move.
