Test should be printed directly from platform without supports.
After printing post-process test according to resin manufacturer recommendations. Let the test cool down after curing.
Measure the distance between the squares using a caliper
Calculate the shrinkage coefficient using the following formula
50/M*100%=S
Where 50 - distance between cubes in STL
M - measured distance
S - shrinkage coefficient
Calculate the shrinkage coefficients separately for the X and Y axis
Enter the coefficients into your slicer
Get accurate dimensions when printing your parts
It is recommended to additionally scan the models using a 3D scanner and check the accuracy.
