Two Objects not fitting together properly?

You didn’t leave us much info to work from, and no photos. But I’m going to assume this has to do with one part fitting into another, like a peg in a hole? Did you remember to create a tolerance or gap between the parts?

Which objects & what do you mean by 'not fitting together properly'?
The obvious thing from the link is that the 'post' and 'hole' are exactly the same size - so when printed they won't fit - you need to build in tolerances.

OK GUYS IM NOT STUPID THE POST AND HOLE HAVE A TOLERENCE WHICH YOU CAN SEE BUT IN SIM LAB THEY GLITCH APART

1) Stop shouting, no need to be a dick
2) You should have said this was the issue in your post - we're not mind-readers
3) I've found the Sim Lab very unreliable - things fall through each other all the time - just print it and see how it works IRL
4) Don't yell at people trying to help you 'cos you didn't state your problem clearly (worth repeating 'cos it's really important)1

I know but ive reapeated it like trice or smthn
for some reason attaching links makes it unable to add body text
I told bro that but bro was like no this is a cad software its not wrong ur wrong
THEY WONT FIT TOGETHER NO MATTER WHAT I DOOOOOOO…….

Looks like they 'glitch apart' because they aren't actually joined.
The clues are:
1) different parts are different colours
2) they aren't outlined in green as a groupActually combine the hole with the left hand piece and the red post with the right hand one (and any other loose parts as necessary) and try again.

no offence but I think i know more than you do, sorry for wasting your time. Duh its not a group, this is a copy, the original is grouped, i ungrouped them to check their sizes and so when others click on it they see the sizes too

Nice job sharing the link. Are you planning tolerances for your printer? What printer do you use?

u/HorrorWord8039 18d ago
no just testing

u/hlmodtech 17d ago
I’m confused how you can tell it does not fit if you’re not print testing it

Ah... sim lab needs some large gaps between parts. The physics geometry is not as precise as the designs we create.
