islfit

returns a probable fitting for an expected 3D Printer from two dimenions

Description

inverse function to slfit. Useful if STL files were created by scientist or hobbies, who used their knowledge on the inaccuries, oversize, undersize of the 3D-printout with respect to an STL file and designed their own fitting dimension. These STLs can then only be sliced for the respective printer under consideration, because on other 3D printers they lead to mismatched connections or loose ball bearing seats or generally to incorrect fits.

Example Illustration

Syntax

[ss,AP,s]=islfit(dm,de,[diam,AP])

Input Parameter

dm: Measured Dimension DIAMETER of a bore
de: Expected Dimension DIAMETER of a bore
diam: optional specific printer name if not default one
AP: Name of Printer for fitting test

Output Parameter

ss: single char abbreviation
AP: full name of printer
s: full fitting description

Examples


islfit(10.4,10) % designed and desired fitting if the bore should be 10.0 but the STL shows 10.4
islfit(10.8,10) % designed and desired fitting if the bore should be 10.0 but the STL shows 10.4
