Adding supports changes x/y Dimensions.

So I start out with a 22mm diameter round part with a center hub. I add supports to the middle and now the part is 24mm, even though no supports are outside the 22mm perimeter.

Re: Adding supports changes x/y Dimensions.

Can you attach the STL file?

Re: Adding supports changes x/y Dimensions.

Sure, I don't think it matters though as this isn't the only part i've seen it on. This is a 3mf, stl does it too. As soon as you add supports it goes from 22mm to 24mm. It doesn't print any different but sure is confusing when I made a 22mm part and it is showing as scaled.

Re: Adding supports changes x/y Dimensions.

I tested it on MacM1 and it keeps the size at 22 *IF* I use 2 as resolution for supports. As soon as I use 4, the part increases to 24!


EDIT: Hilarious! I tried 3 as resolution and the part .... decreases to 21!!! WTF! LOL
