Scale factor in machine profile?

For the first time lately I tried using my Flashforge Creator Pro to print something that must be very precisely sized, namely, a Lego brick. I discovered that the size was off, and the brick needed to be scaled to 102.5% to match the size of genuine Lego bricks. I can't blame the model, because on another printer it printed at perfect size.

This seems to be a slight but consistent error in the scale of movements of the Creator Pro. Is there someplace in the printer profile where I could permanently install that scale factor, so that I don’t have to do it for every model I load?

Thanks,
Ken

Re: Scale factor in machine profile?

My guess would be that you are not using the Simplify3D profile that has the correct GPX output profile listed, or you changed it inadvertently.

Edit Process Settings-->G-Code-->GPX Profile-->Replicator 1 dual
