shrink

[Albo]

Hi everyone!
I state that I use kisslicer v22.11
I tried to print a large object and it came out small in both X and Y..
I tried to print a 250mm L to calibrate the shrink and I measured 248 on both X and Y.. I entered 5% on both X and Y in the material tab, but the coordinates in the Gcode are the same.. basically not fix done.. do i need to enable anything first?

No, it should just work...

I just sliced a 100x100x1 mm model. First time, with no shrink and the G-code generated exactly the same (when viewed in Prusa G-code Viewer).

Then I set shrink for both X and Y to 10%. Measured in the same G-code viewer is was 110x110x1mm (and the G-code also showed the 10mm increase).

For me, it is working fine; however you may want to check out the X/Y motor steps/mm on your printer if your models are coming out small.
