so yeah, exactly how I thought it worked. The channel is coming out at 6.5mm where it should be 7mm. Since the channel has two horizontal walls between it, using the horizontal compensation to get it to 7mm means I would enter in a negative .25mm. This effectively takes away .25mm of all solid surfaces, enlarging my spacing to 7mm, but also shrinking my wall thickness by .5mm (.25mm on each surface). The channel there is empty space, and not accounted for in a slicer. This is an additive process so it only cares about what is physically there, basically surface layers and anything in between them. Maybe I still misunderstood that setting? I attached a picture for reference on the channel spacing I'm referring too.
