As the title says. I'm new to 3d printing and I'm looking for tips on how make two parts fit together nicely. I've read 0.4mm clearance between the two parts modelled together is a nice rule of thumb.

Probably not what you are looking for: I recently had to cut a part in two, because it wouldn't fit the bed. PrusaSlicer has a nice feature where you can add connectors to the cut. I then used a 2-component putty to glue them together and sanded the overflow afterwards.
