Posted · Out of round prints on an Ultimaker S5

I have an S5 (R1) and I just printed a bunch of 1 inch round knobs. They look good, but if you measure them, they are out of round by 0.02 inches. Shouldn't the S5 print more accurately than that?  I used Ultimaker PLA for the print and default print parameters.  I just oiled the guide rods and greased the z-axis screw.  Motor belts are tight and no side to side slop in the drive axles.  My next step will be to print some test parts to figure out if the problem is X-axis, Y-axis, or both.  Any suggestions on how to improve the accuracy of my prints?

        In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
