All my dimensions come out perfect in all directions. My problem is the "square-ness" of everything. For example a 30mmx30mm square will come out exactly 30mmx30mm but it will be out of square by about 1 mm over the length of the 30mm. So it will be a slight parallelogram instead of a square. This is not a problem with a lot of prints such as figures, etc. Now I'm printing replacement parts for my multi-rotors it has made all prints useless as the screw holes don't line up. I can seem to find any way to A. fix this on the machine (Dremel Idea Builder) or B. compensate for this with software.
Anyone dealt with this before and did you find a solution?
Thanks in advance for any help.
PS - I've exhausted myself searching for a solution, and all calibration help I can find deals with wrong dimensions, and not out of square prints.

Re: Square X,Y Calibration
It's probably a hardware issue. I would guess that your X axis carriage is skewed on the Y-axis rails. Or perhaps there is a bearing out of place or a bent rod.
