I have a finished one I had printed at school with the proper dimensions and I could immediately see mine was much smaller. It came out about 10mm short on X (170mm model, ~160mm printed). On the Y it was about 3mm short (57mm model, ~54mm printed). Didn't bother to compare the Z in this case.
After doing two, 20mm cubes I have the following measurements.
Cube 1)
X - 18.76mm
Y - 18.71mm
Z - 20.31mm
Cube 2)
X - 18.71mm
Y - 18.64mm
Z - 20.44mm
I've tried Googling my scenario and can't come up with any solid way to fix the issue I'm having, or quite frankly really found anyone having an issue identical to mine. I assume some sort of calibration is needed, but have no clue where to begin with that.
