Test pattern for dimensionally accurate openings in 3D printing especially for fusion 360

thingiverse

Test pattern for dimensionally accurate openings in 3D printing: As a rule, all openings are printed smaller than in the construction. This file is used for correction of integer diameters, metric screws and nuts. Please note, the holes are already provided with a correction factor, ie slightly larger than the corresponding component. CSV file with metric nuts and bolts. This csv file can be easily imported into Fusion 360 as parameter table via plugin "Parameter I / O". https://apps.autodesk.com/FUSION/en/Detail/Index?id=1801418194626000805&appLang=en&os=Win64 The values ​​can then be used directly in the sketch. With the stl file you can check the dimensional accuracy of your own printer. Then adjust the values ​​directly in the csv file or in fusion.. Please also test whether the printer supplies holes in Z and in XY direction other dimensions. If you use this table in fusion, you can quickly switch to another printer. Of course you must have defined all holes by parameters. Enclosed also the Fusion 360 file. I hope it saves you a lot of time and material. Content of the test print: M10, M8, M6, M5, M4, M3 each for: - Wrench size hex nut - Head diameter Inbus screw - Screws / shaft diameter in integer mm All with a correction factor for larger holes !! Operating Procedure 1. Test print. Check if the openings fit. 2. If necessary, adjust values. Possibilities of adaptation 1. In CAD directly. 2. In the csv file with import to Fusion 360. 3. Directly in my fusion file. The table also contains data on the height of the nuts and screw heads.
