I’m struggling with getting the InMoov Calibrator pieces to print and fit together.
I’m using a Creality CR10S Pro and the latest version of Cura as the slicer.
Has anyone successfully printed and fit the InMoov Calibrator parts together?
This guy got his parts to fit together.
But I’m not sure how because the horizontal expansion of holes shouldn’t change the dimensions of the exterior features (i.e., the dovetail features) - correct?
I’ve used the horizontal expansion for holes setting to get the rectangular peg to fit in the rectangular hole, but the dovetail features won’t fit together.
Any suggestions?
For those that like the details…
As shown in the attached images:
Dove Tail Peg Width 13.355-mm has to fit into Dove Tail Slot Widest Width 13.426-mm.
This should give a gap = 0.035-mm (0.0013") per side.
and
the Dove Tail Column Width 9.745-mm has to fit into the Dove Tail Slot Width 9.763-mm.
Gap = 0.009-mm ((0.0003") per side
Isn’t there a rule of thumb that 3D printed parts should have a .gap of .2-mm?

His rectangle peg fits into the rectangular hole okay.
The dovetail fits together - but its tight.
