Is there any guidance for predicting distortion compensation and establishing an optimal scale factor?

      As the attached documentation states, “…the Distortion Compensation feature tends to be an iterative process.” Experienced users have observed that scale factors between 0.25 – 0.50 are usually very good. After 2-3 iterations you get a STL that will give close to expected geometry when build. Also “compensation” should be tried after you have done orientation & support optimization for a your build. So that you have optimized build strategy first & then last thing to do is get a good compensated built.
