<h2>Goal: Dimensional accuracy</h2> <h2>Goal: Dimensional accuracy</h2>
<p>You have to print two cubes, with different sizes. If the dimensional inaccuracy scale with the size of the cubes, then it's the steps/mm of your steppers that needs some adjustments (note: if it's the case, you should also adjust the flow, and maybe redo some calibrations if the change is big). If it doesn't scale, you can correct it by adjusting your xy compensation (slicing tab). With the voron cube, you can also test the hole calibration, as these are often too small.</p> <p>You have to print two cubes, with different sizes.

Don't forget to save it afterwards. You can continue with the 2.5 step if you want a bit more precision.</p> <p>This test will print five tests samples with various level of flow.

Hee, we can see that artifact exists until the over-brodge flow was set to 115. It was flat from the flow calibration, if it's not now, it's because the bridges below the top surfaces are dropping a bit, and so there are more volume to fill afterwards. Here, 115 should be enough, but 120 is a more safe bet. Here, we can see that artifacts exist until the over-brodge flow was set to 115.
