Dimensional accuracy

[JoeJ]

First of all, I would suggest going to help --> reset all settings. Then restart the software and select the Rep 2X from the configuration assistant. That will make sure that the firmware and slicing settings are correctly set. For example, if your firmware settings were wrong, you could easily be off by 0.2mm as you mentioned.

After you have done that, I would print a simple 20mm x 20mm cube, but set the infill to 0%, top solid layers to 0, and only 1 perimeter outline. When the print is done, measure the thickness of the single outline wall. It should match the value you have set for extrusion width (I believe it is 0.4mm by default). If it is too large, then you might need to decrease your extrusion multiplier.

Hello Joe,

thanks for trying to bring light into the darkness. But as stated above, I already calibrated the extrusion width

I started with the extrusion width & filament diameter measurements and set the right multiplier for this role of MBI filament. This works as expected.

I would declare myself as a nerd, so the FW preselection was/is correct for sure. I can clarify this in the Tools -> FW Configuration, X3G Tab under GPX Configuration -> Machine Profile or am I wrong?
And I never ran S3D before, and did preselect Replicator 2x for sure, so a reset wouldn't help.

Another important thing which could be easily read over, i don't want to change this permantly in the Bots FW cause I keep on using MBI Desktop which is accurate in this case.
I read about .ini configuration files, what about that?

Regards & Thanks,
Jan
