     @has no tapping, like “what size bit do I need to drill so a M4 bolt will drop in smoothly”

     This is going to sound retarded, but M4 screws have a nominal diameter of 4mm, is that the diameter including threads? is there a tolerance beyond 4mm that an m4-accepting hole should include?

     TL;DR “how big should a hole be to accept an M4 screw without engaging its threads?”

     This separate from the question of how to properly size a 3d printed hole to account for printer inaccuracy/overextrusion, and undersized holes due to polygonal approximation
