Are there any volume fit calculators? (lemmy.world)

I've made some prints fit in my printer by printing them at a diagonal. I work it out by spinning it until I don't get an error from the slicer.

I'd rather be able to calculate exactly what will fit beforehand instead of spinning the model around in CAD or the slicer.

Has anyone found/used a calculator that can do this?

It's not the nudging that you referred to. You edited your comment after I responded to remove that part of your comment.

    True, the random positioning and nudging is something I saw in gamedev for some reason a long time ago.

    I edited it before I read your reply and after I found a tool that can do what OP asked for.

    Fair enough, sorry.

    No need to be sorry, I'm actually happy that people on lemmy give their best to uphold Cunningham’s Law by correcting wrong statements.

    It's a me problem, cause I think more after I write, so I end up posting, then editing the same comment a lot until it is "right".

    Cheers! :D
