uniform print shrinkage compensation calculator online

Use uniform print shrinkage compensation online for target mm, shrinkage pct. Geometric or extrusion estimate; printer behavior and material properties must be measured. Example values are not recommended machine settings.

How to use it

Enter target mm. Set shrinkage pct. Select Calculate and check the labeled output. Copy or download the JSON result.

Options and example settings

OptionChoices / valueExample default
target mmMain input. Positive values. 100
shrinkage pctOption. Zero or positive values. Maximum 100.1

Calculation method

model_mm = target_mm/positive(1-shrinkage_pct/100) (^ means exponentiation; trig functions ending in d use degrees).

Worked examples

Apply uniform print shrinkage compensation to the case below, keeping the displayed units and assumptions. Geometric or extrusion estimate; printer behavior and material properties must be measured. Example values are not recommended machine settings.

Choose the right tool

Match the calibration convention to the firmware and slicer. Rotation distance and steps per millimeter change in opposite directions. Flow, shrinkage and fit estimates require measurements from the actual machine and material.

Limitations and common mistakes

  • Geometric or extrusion estimate; printer behavior and material properties must be measured. Example values are not recommended machine settings.
  • Use the displayed unit in every field. Ratios and percentages are different inputs; percent fields use values such as 25 rather than 0.25.
