      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.
