Printing more or less tight fitting parts.

Thank you. It is not a design flaw because I printed a part with 6.40mm hole in it. When I measured the part with a caliper it is 6.32mm.
The outside diameter of the part turned out to be 47.95mm but in the design it is 48.35. I can compensate by adjusting the scale over x and y in the printing profile?

Are there any new 3D printer slicing STC to G code programs in developement?
Slicr is very user unfriendly (as most open-source software is) while Makerware is not open source.

So the difference in your models may be due to the calibration of your xyz axis being out slightly. The printer is moving the steppers X number of steps per mm but the value of X may be too low, it has to move more steps to make up a mm.

try printing out a calibration cube to check and re-define your printers steps per mm. The instructions on the calibration calculations are also on the page.
