Better machines, better tolerances Heart Forge Solutions

Better machines, better tolerances

Brian Blankenship

Our recent update to the Sovol3d SV06 Plus printers and change from PLA Pro to PETG, has had a side effect of our tolerances for assembled parts (parts that fit into other parts) can be much tighter now.

For the spinning wheel bobbins, I had a tolerance of .3mm but for the new machines that was too much. I've been able to reduce that to just .1mm, making for a much nicer fit.

While this better fit could mean we might be able to forgo the adhesive, I feel it creates a better value for our customers to continue using the 3D Gloop for PET/PETG.
