Re: difference in scale between the stl file & print

plastic pulleys, and rambo board is newer one i'm pretty sure. kit is like 2 mo old. did M114 when setting bed level and all that jazz. I think a 10 mm move up in Z direction is approximately 12 mm measured, but x/y moves seem to be accurate.... What I'm trying to clarify here is how are you ...

So ...
