Re: tolerences

[66tbird]

I rarely ever have a problem with my machine. Maybe three times that were because of my lack of concern for a condition. Like base leveling, dust on filament, poor model design. If I design the part right and slice it correctly, run a small sample print check for filament sizing and base stick then I'm very confident that the print will run and I'll have the typical smile I've had hundreds of times before.  Rep1, ABS.

Tolerances, once compensated for and set in the design hold well. I have snap fit, friction fit, press fit, projects of good size that work fine print after print(interchangeable). With each interlock design I do a few test run on fit because making a 2cm hole will be a tad smaller, like 1.97cm  and the peg to fit it drawing dimensioned at 1.95cm will print at 1.98cm give or take. At least on my machine.

Send me a pic of your part and I'll give you an opinion. If it's not to big I'll print it. (My spools are low)

I considering buying a 3d printer, just have a question customer service couldn't answer. What kind of tolerances can I expect? Specifically, I need to make a part that is basically a simple spool on a spindle, BUT IT CANT WOBBLE WHEN IT SPINS. Can someone verify if this is possible? And would consider producing one for me? Also, from reading the posts I'm seeing here, it almost seems like a system full of bugs, so is there support for the product or is like trying to install and run a linux system aka, you're on your own.... I don't wanna waste 2 g's on something that simply doesn't actually work half of the time just cuz it seems like it'd be cool.
