Hi Guys,

So I recently got the Taz 5 for a project where I have to make specific dimensioned parts to fit. However, the x and y axis seem to be a bit off. I’ve been testing out printing a 1 inch circle ( 25.4mm ). On cura it says 25.39mm. However, when it does print out, the measurements are at 21.7mm.

Is there a way where I can calibrate the X and Y axis on the machine so it’ll print the right dimensions?
