| Nozzle X/Y Compensation Nozzle X/Y compensation is the adjustment of nozzle position to correct dimensional inaccuracies in the horizontal plane. It compensates for filament expansion or shrinkage, ensuring precise part dimensions. This is crucial for assemblies requiring tight tolerances or interlocking parts. Compensation settings are configured in slicing software, optimizing X and Y axes movements. Proper X/Y compensation enhances dimensional accuracy, part fit, and overall print quality. It is especially important in high-precision applications like functional prototypes and mechanical components. |
