Is there a possibility that it could be your slicer rather than your printer? Have you tried slicing/printing your part at a larger size to see if you still have a dimensioning error (although out by a whole mm seems kind of severe).
looking at your image preview the two areas you mention do look a bit wider than there corresponding sides... but then again, maybe thats just perspective and i'm seeing what I want to.

Bearing holders (black) are not cracked.

Pull your X carriage all the way forward then look up where it bumps the forward pulleys. You should see one side is not as close. This means that side has jumped teeth on the belt. You will need to loosen the tensioner for that side and move the belt by hand the number of teeth needed to make it bump the pulley as well. Then tighten everything back up.

Hello,

I am the new owner of a (second hand) DaVinci 1.0 for a while. It is already flashed with repetier firmware and I am using repetier host to print and slic3r to slice.

I have been trying to calibrate it for about a month now. I thought I reached an OK level of calibration (checked and adjusted belts, added shims, adjusted bed, adjusted print speed settings) so I tried to make my first (real) part.

The part printed very good, and the overall deviation is 0.1-0.2mm, however the marked sides in the photo printed as +1mm (exactly!) thicker than they should be.

Im confused as these sides are not on a single axis, but rather in both, and also only on this orientation, as the other sides printed as they should. Any ideas what the problem could be? Also to note here is that my circles are not perfect but have a slight elongation on that direction (from marked side to marked side).

Thanks a lot for the help
