# Filament Tolerance Calibration
|
|
|
|
Each filament and printer combination can result in different tolerances. This means that even using the same filament and print profile, tolerances may vary from one printer to another.
|
|
To correct for these variations, OrcaSlicer provides:
|
|
|
|
- Filament Compensation:
|
|
|
|
- Shrinkage (XY)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Process Compensation:
|
|
|
|
- X-Y hole compensation
|
|
- X-Y contour compensation
|
|
- Precise wall
|
|
- Precise Z height
|

### Orca Tolerance Test
|
|
|
|
This calibration test is designed to evaluate the dimensional accuracy of your printer and filament. The model consists of a base with six hexagonal holes, each with a different tolerance: 0.0 mm, 0.05 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, and 0.4 mm, as well as a hexagon-shaped tester.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can check the tolerance using either an M6 Allen key or the included printed hexagon tester.
|
|
Use calipers to measure both the holes and the inner tester. Based on your results, you can fine-tune the X-Y hole compensation and X-Y contour compensation settings. Repeat the process until you achieve the desired precision.
