Tolerances

I printed the model below and then scanned it with a Romer Arm. I wanted to see how accurate the printer is. To my surprise it is very accurate. The avg was 0.006" but I think that has a lot to do with the tapered cone being averaged in and that the part was black when scanned. We will paint it white and see if we get less noise from the scanner. Printed in Hatchbox PLA .15mm step @ 100% feed. Standard prusa control for the slicer. Infill @ 20%. Part size was around 4"x9".

Re: Tolerances

tolerance is tricky.

There are million variables that will affect it from print to print or filament to filament. you may be under or overextruding (on purpose or not), using different temperatures, or have a softer filament that bondtech squishes more.

if you really measured that in inches, then its .15mm which is in the ballpark-ish. just don't ever get hung up on dimensional accuracy before fixing any other issues on a print.

Nice. That's not 3D Reshaper is it?
