Hello everyone I want to make a 3D printing case . I colsed it up with screws . What tap and holes and screws . how big should that have
Hello Hans, as far as I know I can suppose that you need to print a case for something. Also because it is almost difficult that you have a 3D printer with a printing area sufficient to make a non-puzzle set of components to make a 3D printed case.
Anyway, the screws are related to the case characteristics e.g. thickness and mechanical forces it will be exposed. Together with - as Nate1616 mention - the size of the object you should include in the case. Please can you be more specific on your needs? I think it is essential to know the element that the 3D printed container should include.

Haha ,sorry i com from the Netherlands my engels is verry bad.
Anyway i wil make a raspberry pi case. The filament is pla. I have i have 3 mm screws and 3mm tap for it.
how big should be the holes in the case.

Hey Hans! I am from nowhere but living for a while in Nijmegen, Netherlands 
I suggest reading this article I published some times ago Essential Raspberry Pi Peripherals #5 The Pi-Scope lab tool With this kind of design (stl included) take in account that the screws for the Raspberry PI top and bottom case part I have used four Parker screws 3x20 mm
As a matter of fact you should always consider that using Parker screws you should keep the pass-through hole 0.5 mm larger than the max diameter of the screw (PLA has very few temperature deformation and is almost stable). The internal hole should be about 1 mm less than the max diameter of the screw, considering that it is not the max diameter as the screw is conical.
In the case you want using a sort of Allen screw and nut consider 0.7 mm more the screw diameter. In the case shown in the article the PLA plastic assembly is fixed with M4 Allen screws as the support should be robust, but probably in smaller cases also M3 maybe the worth.
