Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

When you make a blind hole with FDM it's a bridge, and therefor it sags, if you domed the dowels, or just the holes the go into, then it would just be an overhang, and it would be possible to print without sagging. No more guessing at the tolerance.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

Just dome the hole as if it was drilled with a pointed bit, instead of a flat, blind hole. Similar to how some extensions make holes teardropped so they don't print with a flat top.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using the tolerance dialog to add extra room for the sag.
