Weird Lip on 3D print

[Schmordan 4]

When my print finished, I noticed a rather sharp lip that was on my 3d print. It's kinda hard to describe, but it started when the printer printed a part of the model that had a space inside.

I just measured the print with some digital callipers and checked the dimensions of the model. It turns out that the lips is the correct size, and the rest of the print is actually about 0.5 mm smaller.

This is so confusing 🙁

Thanks for replying!

I have some knowledge of what elephant foot is in 3D prints, and I think that it only happens on the bottoms of prints. Also the bottom and top of the print are the right size, it’s just the middle.

Please correct me if I’m wrong.
