I use the 0.4 nozzle, and as far as the print, there have been many over the last year or so. They are all parts that dozens of other people report perfect success with.
I have printed a few items both downloaded and my own design. Have you tried Robert's Dust Filter I have printed this in a FF Dreamer and a UM2 Clone. I am planning on printing a similar item but 2 colors on UM3 tho i havent decided on what to print (more like I am lazy of design at this time ? ).
The key problem here is tolerance and clearance for printers are different. My FF requires around 0.10 - 0.15mm clearance per side that has contact for a circle it will be diameter + 2 x Clearance. For a UM I only need 1x of the clearance.
Edited by jffry7Maybe your over extruding, to hot nozzle or to fast printing. Those are the things I can think of.
The few models I have tried, the makerbot robot and the socket wrench from nasa, required that your printer is well adjusted.
If you can post a picture i’m sure someone can tell you right away what the problem is.

Yes I have the same problem when download some model from thingiverse. and I used to have makerbot printer and it works perfect with mostly all print in place model (lefab Makerfaire Robot, Jack Platform...etc). and when I use my UM3 and UM s5. The parts all fused together. I was wondering whats the setting at cura cause that.

unless you post a project file that did that, it is a loooooot of guesswork.

Same here. Every print-in-place model I've ever attempted on my Ultimaker S5 has been fused despite following instructions to the letter. And the standard Thingiverse response is "The problem's on your end. I've printed a thousand of these and they all work fine and dandy."
Every printer is different and has different tolerances. Use a negative value for horizontal expansion, print slower, cooler and you will have success.

User MakersMuse on Youtube has designed a testpart with various tolerances, specially for this purpose. After printing, you can see which parts still move, and which not. Then you know what tolerances you need to apply in your own designs.
Also, printing circumstances have a huge influence: printing hotter, will melt them more together. Thick layers will reduce accuracy, as well as printing fast. So, printing slow, cool and in thin layers should give best results. Theoretically...

I have not managed with the things I downloaded. Some of the things they say are print in place are not that well made.
What are you trying to print, what size nozzle in use and what size print?
