***With the Google sheet open, from the File menu there is the option to make a copy in your GDrive. This will give you your own, editable copy***


New version of the dimensional calibration tool.

The revised part is easier to measure, and should give more accurate results.
The spreadsheet now considers both scaling error due to shrinkage, as well as radial compensation error (horizontal size adjustment in S3D).

1. Print the test part using your filament of choice, and slicer settings you intend to use.
2. Measure and input into the spreadsheet (mine is shared at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14Nqzy8B2T4-O4q95d4unt6nQt4gQbnZm_qMQ-7PzV_I/edit?usp=sharing).
3. Update slicer settings.

The concept is to measure all but the smallest part feature. These larger features will be most affected by errors due to shrinkage, and least affected by errors due to radial compensation errors. The scaling error percentages are populated.

Next, measure the smallest feature.
