Hi. I have a feature request for Slic3r. I know this can be done in somewhat effectively in printer firmware by changing the steps per mm, but it would be really great if it were built into slicer.
Attached to the 'printer' settings, it would be extremely helpful if automatic and individual X,Y,Z scaling could be included in the settings.
When I print test objects, the objects are consistently off scale. For example, I printed a 30mm x 30mm x 30mm object. When measuring, the object produced was:
X: 29.8 mm
Y: 29.8 mm
Z: 30.2 mm
If auto X, Y, Z scaling was included in Slicer, it could take into account the auto-scaling when slicing the object so that it could print correctly.
Incidentally, I use Slic3r through the Repetier interface. I click 'configure' and setup all my options within Slic3r, but I use the 'Slice' button within Repetier, which I believe slices the model by calling Slic3r via the command line.
Thank you.
