I drew a puzzle like joint sketch and split a body with it for 3d printing.
But I have to add a small gap between them for the tolerance of the machine.
Any way on how to do it not manually?

Use a thin cut extrude, instead of the "Split" tool.
Set this to be midplane, and add the total tolerance gap that you require depending on your printer, and how loose you want the puzzle pieces to be.

$\begingroup$ Ya it created another problem that now the total length of the joined part is 1 mm short Guess i have to do 2 different drawings with 2 cuts :( Unless you have another idea? $\endgroup$– SimonCommented Apr 7, 2021 at 11:41

$\begingroup$ Can you include some photos to show what the exact problem you're having is now? If you do this and print it, then they are too close? So need more clearance on the 'peg' than on the vertical lines? $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 7, 2021 at 12:42

$\begingroup$ Ok, I see the photo but am still not sure what the problem is. How did it end up 1mm too short? Did you do a 1mm thick thin cut? $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 7, 2021 at 14:12
