How to set the Ultimaker Cura for Metal design with CC 0.4 core and material Ultrafuse 17-4PH

Posted · How to set the Ultimaker Cura for Metal design with CC 0.4 core and material Ultrafuse 17-4PH

Hello Ultimaker Team,

 

I have a question regarding my design. So, I am using Ultimaker S5 printer with metal expansion kit and I already have a design that I need to print with Ultrafuse 17-4PH material. I came to know that when we print a metal part it shrinks therefore I want to know that how to rescale it or will the Cura software do it automatically?? If Cura doesn't do it automatically, is there some kind of settings that I have to do inside Cura software to rescale the design so that I can get the original design after the shrink happens.


Thank you!


Best regards,

Pukhraj Singh
