Print length issues
The print is shorter than expected
Some substrates naturally contract when they are printed on and cured, this can mean the total length of the
print is shorter than expected. If this is the case, you can expand the length of the print from the RIP, which
will compensate for the contraction of the substrate. Alternatively, change to a less thermal-dependent
substrate to reduce the contraction.
