I'll try to keep this as short as possible while still trying to provide enough details.
Using a makerbot replicator 2 running sailfish and printing with pla
(I know this is mostly an ultimaker forum but I could really use the help)
For some reason when using cura, My models come out a different size than what they should be. I've noticed this the most when trying to print the xyz calibration cube. Rather than it coming out 20mm all the way around, the cube is measuring 21x21x20. However when using mattercontrol slicer the cube comes out to 20mm on the x and y axis as it should. To save some time I thought it would be a good idea to share some of the things I've tried and ruled out.
I was getting the same problem before and after flashing the machines firmware to sailfish
when importing the model I made sure the programs weren't scaling the cube on it's own. ( if it did the z height would have been off as well)
belts are tight (however, the problem continued both before and after adding a bit of extra tension.)
Everything seems to be tight and as it should be. ( really don't think this is the issue otherwise the problem would have occurred regardless of slicer)
both programs had identical settings when setting up, nozzle size, speed, temp, filament type and diameter as well as extrusion multiplier
My guess is there is something in the code that is causing the nozzle to move further than it should but only in the x and y axis since the z dimension is coming out right on. However despite googling all the codes I couldn't find the issue. I did notice that the the G and E values are pretty different but I'd have no idea how to adjust the post on some thing like that. I've attached a screen shot of the 2 files both the mattercontrol and the cura programs. Hopefully someone out there can help identify the issue or at least point me in the right direction since I'm getting pretty desperate over here.
(a few small notes. the files only have the first parts of the code, not the entire thing since it would have been too big. Also when uploading the files I did export them to gcode to make it legible since makerbot uses x3g. I don't think this would have an effect on the format since it has already gone threw the post processor. I would have just posted the 2 files however there this forum wouldn't accept the type of attachment)
