When 3D printing vertical holes (with FDM printer), the top of the hole is flat and reduce the hole diameter. This library creates a hole with a specific shape on top to avoid this diameter compression.
With this library, you do not need to clean the hole (drill the hole) after printing :)
- Prusa i3 MK2s Bear upgrade
- FormFutura PETG HDGlass Blinded Silver (nozzle 230°C, heated bed 80°C)
- Prusa Firmware 3.1.0 with Linear Advance activated and manually calibrated
- Slic3r Prusa Edition 1.37.2
I am currently testing the perfect shape/sizes. I have only tested 0.20mm layer height with default slic3r PE settings (2 perimeters, 5 tops, 4 bottoms).

This library as been inspired by the x-axis-end of the Prusa i3 MK2 printer, check line 79 here
