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

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
