I have been trying to print a print-in-place planetary gear without any luck. Today I found out about a setting that finally got it to print. Cura's slicing tolerance -> exclusive uses the largest part of each layer to calculate the slice which can help when trying to print something with tighter tolerances. Unfortunately, the setting doesn't appear to be in any other slicers, but maybe someone else knows another way to achieve this.

This is one of my favorite features to introduce to people, definitely a game changer. The only thing is, when working with other people's models, I usually don't know if they've already included any additional tolerance or how much.
