What clearances are recommended for SLS printing; would like to print these in
Alumide.
Thanks,

Hi Greg,

Thank you for your interest in our service.

The clearance depends on what kind of fit you need (tight fit or loose fit) we suggest 0.3mm on each side which means 0.6mm difference in total.
Hope this was helpful.

Kind regards,
Anna

Hi Greg,

Thank you for the new picture.
After checking this we suggest that the gap must be 0.6mm at each side. So it means 1.2mm in total.

Best regards,
Anna
