3D Print & CAD Lab

3D Printing & CAD Calculator

Standardized mechanics and slicing calculations for filament volumes, layer speeds, material infill, bed boundaries, and precision ISO tolerancing fits.

1. Nominal Size & Fit Selector

mm
💡 ISO 286-1 determines standardized fit tolerances based on hole-basis system parameters. Hole is H7 (Lower Limit = 0), and shaft limits dictate the sliding, transition, or press behavior.

2. Tolerances & Slicer Compensation Report

Limit Tolerances (mm)
Hole Limits
Lower: 20.0000 mmUpper: 20.0210 mm
Deviation: +0 to +21 μm
Shaft Limits
Lower: 19.9800 mmUpper: 19.9930 mm
Deviation: -20 to -7 μm
Computed Clearance Fits
+7 μmto+41 μm
Fit Type: Clearance
Slicer Compensation Tip:

Standard FDM 3D printers expand printed holes inward by about 0.1 to 0.15mm due to plastic shrinkage and extrusion overhangs. To achieve true ISO sliding fits, apply an XY Size Compensation / Horizontal Expansion of -0.10mm inside your slicer settings!
