Printing Parts - Question about skew correction

Before printing my lowrider parts, I did print the calilantern, which left me with my XZ Plane being out of square by 0.275°
From the calilantern documentation, the best achievable would be 0.1°
But what accuracy do I even need?
I don’t know where the line between “getting proper prints” and “chasing zeros” is here.
Thank you!

Are you running a Klipper based printer that allows for skew correction?

Can you post a screen shot of your calilantern excel sheet?

I run a marlin based machine, but can raise or lower one side of the gantry by tweaking how the lead screw sits in the the coupling.
Which is why I’m not interested in chasing zeros here. To make matters worse, it runs a prebuild firmware, the only marlin config for it is a community one.

I thought you could make the adjustment in marlin as well. I have never done it as all my printers are klipper based. Personally I think 0.275° is plenty good. I was just trying to see if you could make the adjustment since you had already gone through the trouble of printing and measuring it.

You can make the adjustment in marlin, but I don’t have the config that was used to compile the firmware currently on it.
And I’m trying to avoid turning this into an additional project at the moment :smiley:

I get that completely. I think you are good. If it was an easy task to make the adjustment I would say do it, but in your situation I think you will be just fine.
