How tight are the tolerances for a 3D printer? The Workmate came out in the 70's when everything was still pretty much imperial so the dog holes were 3/4th of an inch in diameter... right up until they switched to metric and made them 20 mm in diameter. That is a different of less than a millimeter. They made two adapters, an orange one that was for the 20 mm holes and a black one that was for the .75 inch holes. The larger of the two wont fit in the smaller sized holes and the smaller one wobbles in the larger holes. I know the tolerances vary depending on the quality of the printer but but how nice of a printer am I going to have to find to get the size right?
