XYZ Calibration Cube

I looked through a few pages of posts and didn't see anything on this topic.

What do you guys do to compensate for differences in print size? I've been printing for years but just now getting into the kinds of functional prints where the XYZ calibration and physical print matters. The 20mm cube I print today actually comes out at 19.6mm for the x axis, 19.8 for the y axis and 19.6 for the z. What do you guys do to compensate for these differences? 

I have an MK3S that has been a warrior since the day I bought it. The only thing I've had to repair or replace was the PINDA. I've swapped nozzles tons of times. I am currently using a .8 nozzle with .55 layers. The print looks nearly flawless, good layer adhesion, nice recess of the letters in the cube, only one print booger from the nozzle as it left the top layer. Everything on the printer is bone stock, no upgrades. It just works. It just happens to be every so slightly off in physical print dimensions. 

What do you guys do to handle that? Thanks in advance!

If anybody else is running into similar issues, I found this thread from the forums. Apologies if it is bad form to reply to my own post.

I remember doing this ages ago but completely forgot about it. Seems it is time to do it again and possibly each time I change the combination of filament and nozzle.
