A customer recently reached out with a question: “Is your Standard PLA accurate in terms of print dimensions? Will it be difficult to assemble the printed parts?”

After learning more, we discovered that this customer is a ship model enthusiast. He had recently purchased a Bambu Lab P1 series printer and started printing a cruise ship model. The model consisted of over 400 STL files, and it took him 55 hours and 23 spools of filament to complete the printing process.

However, during the assembly, he found that the model’s dimensions were inaccurate, making it difficult to fit the parts together. Many components need to be sanded down just to make them fit. Sometimes, he had to apply considerable force to assemble the parts, which occasionally led to damage due to excessive pressure.

After struggling for a week, the customer still couldn’t resolve the issue and felt physically and mentally exhausted. Eventually, he realized that the problem stemmed from the filament’s shrinkage rate, which caused the dimensional inaccuracies.
