Nothing sucks like printing part that has to be sanded to make it fit.

Over the weekend I printed several pegs and holes of graduated sizes to find the right fits. Then I went back and adjusted my 3D models with the new tolerances. That really bothers me - do I bake the tolerances into the original model? Maintain a version with ideal+correction? Both solutions are ugly.
