Perfectly Accurate 3D Prints using Horizontal Expansion

Chuck shows you how to get Accurate 3D Prints using Horizontal Expansion in the Cura Slicer. Even with a proper setup 3D printer you can end up with prints that are not exact. Using the Horizontal Expansion feature in Cura you can dial in the perfect slicing settings to give you that perfect sized 3D Print.
