hello,
i'm not expert but when i want to do this, i prefer to decrease the hole for the printing operation and in second step i 'm drill this hole with the right size.
hoping that this idea might be useful to you.

How would you feel about using Cura for this print, if S3D has heavy retraction settings from which you are unsure how to change them to a lower value which would work better for this small parts?
Alternatively, you could indeed make the holes a little bit smaller and drill them out or something, with a little file you could make it smooth.
The second print is just fine. Like 6maker mentioned, use a drill just in case. To my experience these eyelets are the only critical parts relating to underextrusion issues.
thanks for all the replies, how do you make the holes smaller, to drill out without modifying the STL
Havent used Cura for a long time now and un sure what setting I would use, no slur on cura its just what I got used to..
Maybe you could leave the holes the size they are: they will probably come out slightly smaller anyway. And then drill. Just try.
I would recommend drilling by hand, not with a machine: manually gives you much more feeling. A machine generates too much heat and may melt PLA or other low-temp plastics. Don't ask me how I know. I have bought a separate drill clamp (I don't know the correct name in English) to mount my drill into, so I can get a good grip on it.
Edit: added photo of drill clamp for manually drilling.
Edited by GuestGeert, the word you're searching for is chuck or drill chuck. Have no idea why it's called that... have had PLA melt when drilling with a motor, but not generally other plastics
