Add allowance for 3D printing

Now that you have completed the assembly for the water filter, you must modify parts so that they will operate well after being rapidly prototyped on a 3D printer. Since this design is being 3D printed, it will be necessary to create allowance between thread features, even though there is not currently any interference. Allowance will also need to be created where square O-rings will be seated.

After completing this section, you’ll be able to:

• Create allowance between neighboring components.
• Create allowance between modeled thread features for working printed threads.
