S3D slicing wrong dimensions with .25 mm nozzle.
Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2014 7:40 am
I've been tinkering with the 0.25mm nozzle because I'm trying to print a part that is very small with gear teeth, and I was curious how it would turn out.
So the changes I've made to my S3D filament settings were simply update the nozzle diameter=.25, extrusion width=.25, and layer height = 0.1mm.
After slicing the part and printing it, I noticed my parts weren't fitting so I measured and every dimension was scaled down to around 75% the design size.
Now the interesting thing I've noticed is the difference between the 0.25 nozzle and the 0.35 nozzle. 0.25/0.35 = 71.25%.
I wonder if this is a bug in S3D, or if I've missed missed a configuration setting somewhere. Has anybody else run into this?
Thanks.
