The printer is supposed to go where it's told but if the printer-processor is told to go 25mm then it sends "steps" to the motors to move them. How many "steps/mm" comes into play.
The first thing to check is the gcode. Open that Calibration Cube gcode file in a text editor like Notepad. In the first few lines is the Max and Mins for the three axis. The max and min XY will include the skirt/brim, but the MaxZ should be 20.00.
Typically, the X Y and Z steps don't need any adjustment, but maybe yours do.
(You said the printed cube was 1.79 on each side. I hope that was cm and not mm.)
