Why Is My 3D Print Dimensional Accuracy Off?
Dimensional accuracy problems can come from flow, elephant foot, material shrinkage, belt tension, slicer compensation, or model tolerance issues.
Fast answer
Dimensional accuracy problems can come from flow, elephant foot, material shrinkage, belt tension, slicer compensation, or model tolerance issues.
Look at the first failed area, the material, and the slicer profile before changing settings.
Check filament dryness, nozzle temperature, bed setup, belts, and the profile baseline.
Use a small calibration print so you can see which change actually improves the result.
