We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

      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.
