      Hi all
      I have several printers with duet 3d and i was running in to an issue i never had before.
      From one moment to an other, with a printer which was running for month without any problems, the parts come out 1% to small
      60mm is now around 59mm.
      I checked the workflow and it it ends at the printer.
      Fusion 360 gives out the correct size. It display right in Cura 5 but it prints out to small.
      Its the newest version of everything (Fusion, Cura, Duet) I did not change anything in the settings in the last month...
      Anyone an idea???

        @patrick is this with all your printers? if not that could be multiple things from change of material/brand, under extrusion, slack belts, missed steps, I`m sure someone will add multiple other causes, best thing to do would be to check/test each part of the system, check security/tightness of mechanical parts. without knowing any thing about your printers its hard to say for sure!

          Each type of filament (ABS, PLA...) has its own shrinkage factor.
          Is it possible, for example, that you used PLA earlier and measured and there 60mm was also 60mm, and now you printed ABS, for example, and there 60mm was suddenly 59mm, and didn't consider that you were now using a different filament ?

          Jede Sorte Filament (ABS, PLA...) hat einen eigenen Schrumpffaktor.
          Ist es vielleicht möglich das Du zum Beispiel früher PLA genutzt hast und gemessen hast und dort war 60mm auch 60mm, und jetzt hast Du zum Beispiel ABS gedruckt und da waren 60mm auf einmal 59mm, und dabei nicht bedacht das Du jetzt ein anderes Filament genutzt hast ?
