3D Printing Tolerances for Polymer Parts
When you're 3D printing, tolerances are just the "wiggle room" you have for how much the size of your printed part can differ from what you originally designed on your computer. Think of it like a guideline that helps ensure your finished print looks just right, not too big or too small.
