Make sure you do all your calibrations.

I made a hole of exactly 2mm (see screenshot), which was stupid since I should have known that it would be impossible to get the magnet into the hole. What do you think would be a reasonable tolerance? 2.2mm? Also, should I produce a slightly tapered hole in order to facilitate the insertion? Many thanks for your help!
