#OPENSCAD 3D PRINTING ARCHIVE#
Sent from the OpenSCAD mailing list archive at . OpenSCAD - Scaling and 3D Printing Questions So basically the Forum is now out of date, we are looking into migrating the history. Or discuss this with the vendor tech support.įeel free to drop a note here if you figured it out, so others can learn I would recommend finding other owners of the printer in question, The 3D printer I tested wasn't open source so I had to work around it by Printing something larger made the dimensional error noticeable. I've experienced this before, where the calibration cubes looked ok, but This very much sounds like a bug in your 3D printer firmware or slicer Can anyone elaborate why I'm experiencing this? It's so strange to me and I've opened pandoras box with my new 3D printing hobby. but I scaled the model down in OpenSCAD and the width should be 60 scaled down by. Such as the width reporting 60.34, length 88.65, and height 7.24. In netfabb, it's showing dimensions way off. 985 so I scaled the completed model to that.

I calculated that it needs to be scaled by. I'm confused here since I'm use to things being literal such as 1px means 1px on screen. While researching the reason for it printing a tad larger than the unit's I've added, I noticed in another software (netfabb) that the units are slightly bigger by ~1mm. My printer is calibrated and I've printed many calibration tests too such as 20mmx20mm cubes, etc. I created a Raspberry Pi case which is 60x90 and I'm assuming the slicers will convert these units to mm but I'm running into an issue with the printed result being slightly bigger than the units in mm. I don't want to bother having to learn a wysiwyng (what you see is what you never get) program, so I cut to the chase and do it in code. I'm a software developer and found OpenSCAD to be the best tool to use with my new 3D printer that I just built. Hello, I'm new, and new to the world of S/CAD.
