Mbot3d Cube: Oversized prints

[nwalker78]

hi,

i have the above listed 3d printer and it all seems to be working OK the only exception being prints seem to be coming out to large, the most noticeable and prime example being when printing iPhone cases.

I Have tried the gcode generated from stl's created from services like thingiverse and zetoff both seem to yield the same results. These being the case being to large around (8-12%). A couple of calibration cubes have also printed larger than they should. leading me to believe its more settings than model issue.

Can anyone shed alight on what setting is wrong, or what im doing wrong.

Many thanks

If you scale your stl down 10% and then slice, how does the output compare?

appologies for delay, i tried altering scale of the stl, this was unsuccessfull as it effected the x,y and z axis.

only the x and y are printing off scale.

what software and print settings are you using ?

Im using the replicatorG - 0040 software configured for MBot3d Cube Single extruder.

for slicing im using the skeinforge50 with the attached profile.

for gcode generation im using the inbuilt tools in the replicatorG - 0040 softwarewith the following settings see attached image.

if any other settings are needed let me know.

many thanks
