- 1.5mm = .060 in min wall thickness
- .6mm = .024 in absolute min wall thickness
- .3mm = .012 in gap for loose fit
- .15mm = .006 in gap for tight fit
- When 3D printing parts that will fit together, a clearance of about 0.3 mm for a loose fit and about 0.15 mm for a tight fit is recommended. The required clearance may vary slightly depending on the material and geometry.
- A good minimum wall thickness for 3D printing PLA is 1.5 mm. The absolute minimum wall thickness a 3D printer can print is 0.6 mm.
