More calibration factors
I learnt something new yesterday - having spot-on Theta and Psi steps-per-degree values from the calibration procedure, does not mean your prints are on scale. There are two more factors (the M365 X and Y scaling factors), also calibrated using the spreadsheet and calibration phantom, but not explicitly mentioned in the calibration webpage.
I tried printing some Morgan parts (those I broke early on), and I could see that the calibration must be out. Printing a round gear (extruder large gear) also produced a non-round shape. I have now calibrated the factors and I am printing a new phantom as I type here.
Currently I'm struggling with getting a good first layer, my bed levelling calibration is acting up.
