Repair sequence

Step completion

1
Document the failure and confirm that it matches this guide: Pins fit outside dimensions but holes and sockets are too tight.Not completed
2
Return extreme overrides to a known printer, nozzle, material, and slicer profile so the diagnosis starts from a stable baseline.Not completed
3
Check hole shrink/line-center effect. Print a stepped hole gauge.Not completed
4
Check horizontal-hole sag. Measure by orientation.Not completed
5
Inspect elephant foot. Apply slicer/CAD compensation.Not completed
6
Rule out material/profile-specific shrink. Save per-material values.Not completed
7
Change only the single setting or hardware condition supported by the evidence, then run a small test that reproduces the original failure.Not completed
8
Compare the test against the target condition, record the successful value, and save it in a printer/material profile before repeating the full print.Not completed

Verification test

Model: Small representative test print
Setup: Use the same printer, material, slicer and key settings as the failed model.
Pass: The original symptom is absent and the target feature is repeatable.
If unchanged: The symptom remains in the same location or stage.
