    Difference between CAD and print (printing tiny things)

    Hi all

    I have a problem with printing tiny objects and need an advise on how to fix this.
    Here's the thing:
    After some tries I did a test print to check if my printer is even able to print small things. I made a cube with holes from 2-5mm in diameter in it. The 2mm hole has only 1.4mm, the 3mm hole ends up being 2.53mm. Only staring from 5mm the holes look fine. Can anyone tell me how to solve this issue?
    Since I'm new to 3d printing any advise will probably help.

    Slicing software: Simplify3D
    Printer: Prusa i3
    Firmware: Marlin
    Filament: PLA 1.75mm
    Print-Temperature: tested 190-210°C
    Nozzle: 0.4mm
