Prints are smaller than the design by about 1mm
I have a Rostock Max v2 and I've tried to print a case for my raspberry pi and have found that even though the design in Tinkercad says the part is 61.30mm wide the actual print comes out to be only about 60mm wide.

Re: Stuttering during large complex print
Thanks for the feedback! I'll have to check the print speed since it's the default from SeeMeCNC. The default settings also ran the PLA @ 210C. Would running it cooler help or hurt a print like this?

Frozen ABS and switching between ABS and PLA
I received a Rostock Max v2 for Christmas and just finished the build yesterday. I'll be doing the calibration today and would like to run at least a test print tonight. So I have two questions: 1) Right now I only have some PLA meant for the Replicator that I picked up at Staples . If I try a few ...
