Things like hinges, say for a 2mm diameter cylinder, what diameter hole would be required to get it moving easily?

For the print-in-place hinge on this thing I used a 0.3mm clearance which seems to work well for a loose and free joint. On this one I used just under 0.2mm.
For tighter fits I go down to 0.1mm and in general I tend to use around 0.2mm. But it depends When you have holes that are printed on a vertical wall the holes tends to not come out perfectly circular so that is something to watch out for.
If it makes you feel any better I almost never get it perfect on the first try with a new model, it will usually take at least one test print to make sure things are working as intended.
Thanks very much Robert that gives me something to get started.

"Moving parts" is a very broad description. What are you trying to do more specifically?
