Hi, I'm trying to use the new XY Size Compensation feature to get a set of gears the perfect size (not scale, more like designed size for the teeth to mesh properly). I've had a bit of luck with the feature in 1.2.5 on simple test objects (just a square with some holes in it), which look very promising -- but every time I try something more complex, the slicing process crashes. The file big_gear_top_M5.stl from [www.thingiverse.com] is one example. Netfabb finds no problems in the file, and older 1.1 versions of Slic3r work fine (just makes it a bit too large on the outside and with too small a hole to fit on the axis). However, 1.2.5 will crash. While waiting for 1.2.6, is there some some simple setting that will make 1.2.5 work also? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,459521,459521#msg-459521 Thu, 11 Jun 2026 07:09:18 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,459521,459657#msg-459657 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,459521,459657#msg-459657 jbernardis Slic3r Fri, 23 Jan 2015 14:42:22 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,459521,459611#msg-459611 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,459521,459611#msg-459611 ZeAllan Slic3r Fri, 23 Jan 2015 12:34:05 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,459521,459591#msg-459591 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,459521,459591#msg-459591 jbernardis Slic3r Fri, 23 Jan 2015 11:36:34 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,459521,459521#msg-459521 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,459521,459521#msg-459521
