In the video I printed this file at 0.06mm (60 micron) layer height.

  1. since there are no units in 3d and you can scale stuffs, as long as you model things in a proper precisions range(flot data precision I mean) it does not matter which software you use

    it makes no sens at all to relate the precision of your prints to a modeling software which is 3D print realm agnostic…. this got to be the dumbest 3D related question I have ever read

  2. What has the video title to do with what you actually did? It should read "is cura an accurate slicer?". Blender is as accurate as any other cad software when exported to stl. Besides the print temperature at nozzle has the biggest effect on accuracy. If you raise the temp by 10 degrees Celsius it will fit tighter.
