For me on parts that fit I make a 0.2mm gap. I find the print is 0.2mm bigger so I get a good fit.
It saves all the sanding afterwards.
So if I have a hole that an 8mm steel pin has to go in I make the hole 8.2mm.

Good information for @RodB

Thank you very much

Good Day

Having designed my first 3D print in sketchup I tried to do a 3D print.

It started fine until it got to the top then it printed as a solid.

I have saved the file in Cura the only option of extension is *.3mf which I cant attach here
