Observations and winning values

No notes recorded.

Verification test

Model
20 mm calibration cube plus fit coupon
Setup
Use the target profile and measure after the part fully cools.
Pass
Dimensions and mating features fall within the required tolerance.
If unchanged
Axes or holes remain consistently oversized or undersized.
Use the evidence, not guesswork

Keep the winning setup and change only one variable in the next test.
