Part Design (MakerBot)

 Main Article: 3D Printing

For parts to be printed on MakerBot they must be designed to meet the geometric and build constraints of the machine. This includes mathching the machines tolerance capabliities, accomodating for hole presision, and building arches and overhangs with support or fillets to avoid sagging. {| Parts need to be designed to meet geometric constants. Parts will shrink/expand

Tolerances
MakerBot prints to a resolution of 0.1 mm. However, finished parts have a tolerance of X axis of 0.3%, Y axis of 0.2%, ans 0.4% of Z axis. Design should be machined to tolerance if accelerate is necessary.
