#16 — Press Fit Pin Gauge

    This folder contains a working example that generates a STEP model for: Pins and holes that step through interference values to calibrate press fits.

    The intent is that you can run the code here to emit a STEP file, open it in a CAD viewer, and/or import it into your slicer to 3D print and iterate.

    #What this example demonstrates

    • tolerance sweeps as code
    • dimension-driven feature generation
    • repeatable measurement artifacts
    • parametric dimensions as first-class inputs

    #Parameters to try

    • clearance
    • interference
    • stepCount
    • filletRadius
    • chamferSize

    #Suggested extensions

    • emit a small “label plaque” with the chosen settings
    • add a quick-fit calibration part alongside the main part
    • add a variant generator (small/medium/large)


    #Variant 1

    Command line: ./run-example.sh 16 --pinDiameter 5 --clearance 0.05

    #Variant 2

    Command line: ./run-example.sh 16 --pinDiameter 10 --interference 0.1 --clearanceStep 0.05 --stepCount 4
