Shrinkage Compensator

Print a calibration cube, measure it, and get the exact scale factor to feed back into your slicer or CAD tool.

Typical shrinkage values

  • PLA: 0.2–0.5%
  • PETG: 0.4–0.8%
  • ABS / ASA: 0.7–1.5%
  • Nylon: 1.0–2.0%
  • Standard resin: 0.4–0.7%

Print a hollow calibration cube (e.g. 50 × 50 × 50 mm) in the same orientation as your production part for the most accurate reading.
