I constructed a design in TinkerCad with a length of 112mm - when it was printed it was only 105mm - any thoughts?

  Hey Doug

  Depending on the printer, there can be some shrinkage/tolerance ranges.  Can you see the STL dimensions in whatever printer driver you're using?  If they are consistent with your original model, you may need to bump up the % or shells to take into account the heating/cooling of the plastic.

  Thanks Andy - I'll obviously have to investigate further......
