Acceptable levels of precision for frames?

Acceptable levels of precision for frames?

Hi,

I'm just finishing my first delta frame. Its relatively big the base triangle has 58cm side and its 100cm high. I'm waiting now for a proximity sensor, but I would like to have the frame calibrated as good as possible beforehand.

The endstop height I already calibrated well and I have adjustable cross braces in there to control the parallelogram, but getting the towers parallel is harder especially because the brackets are not super precisely printed and have no corners to measure from, so everything I can hold my tape measure on is only precise to 1-2mm eyeball precision level.

Is that considered enough?

P.S. I thought it could be a good idea to put adjustment screws into the brackets (similar to the ones I use on the carriage to correct the endstop position) so you can finetune triangle sides, has someone ever done this? Would be great to just get a reference measuring stick and then just tighten the adjustment screws until it fits.
