 +==== Calibrating for correct dimensions ====
 +  * Isolate a small piece of your model which you can use for a fit-test.
 +  * In Cura, set the ''Horizontal offset'' to a negative number (in mm) to make the model leaner in the horizontal plane. Set it to a positive number to make it fatter. Use small values like for example ''0.1mm''.
 +  * Print the test piece and measure it with calipers. 
 +    * If the dimensions are different than the CAD model, adjust the horizontal offset. 
 +    * If the dimensions are the same as the CAD model, but it doesn't fit properly, adjust the clearance values in the CAD model.
