How accurate is your 3D printer?
Find out! This is a break away tolerance test to determine the minimum gap your 3D printer supports between objects. This is useful in designing parts, as well as in determining the effects of machine changes. After you finish printing, see how many pegs may be removed. The smallest number peg removed, divided by 100 is your tolerance in millimeters.
Update 20200912: Rendered the STL with 360 faces per cylinder to increase accuracy of the test. Previously, the lower tolerance values would bind at vertices.
Do not add a brim nor supports. If necessary, it should be okay to use a raft. The numbered side should be the top of the print, as laid out by default.
