large parts are printed too small

Post by burnski » Sat Jun 08, 2019 3:48 pm

hello, if I print with my A30 printer and my part with Cura 4.1 slice, then it is 0.9mm too small after printing warm or cold measured. I use PLA on a heating bed with 50 or 60 degrees Celsius. In the component height it is perfect, only the diameter is not right.

scaling with Cura is not an option because I have many print files and want to use them on different printers. if I use scaling in Cura, I have to do that for each printer. it's stupid. if I print something that is 269mm in diameter, then it has to be 269mm in diameter (plus minus 0.1mm is ok for me). I am already glad that the printer prints the parts really round.

how can I adjust the printer to print the parts correctly in size? small parts like 20x20x20 mm or 30x30x30 mm are great, the problem is with large parts.

I'm a beginner, but I'm going to work my way into it.
