Of course you can just make the hole larger in the CAD file and reprint. But I hate to do that as then I'd not be able to re-use the CAD file for CNC milling or even for a different kind of plastic. I usually end up using drills reamers or taps and boring if precision is needed. I usually have to retouch countersinks to make flat head screws be flush. Post-processing is pretty common. IBut on the other hand, if you design your own parts, rather then printing existing designs, you design around the limitation of you printer. For example, I don't print mod. 0.5 gears or plastic-on-metal bearings. Clean-sheet designs can work if you avoid doing the hard stuff. That said, I end up designing and making everything three times. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
