Based on your results, you can fine-tune the X-Y hole compensation and X-Y contour compensation settings

At no point does it explain how to fine-tune the settings based on the results.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

Explain how to set the following based on the results of printing the "Orca Tolerance Test" handy model:

Filament > Filament Compensation:
- Shrinkage (XY)
Process > Quality > Precision
- X-Y hole compensation
- X-Y contour compensation
- Precise wall

Explain how to factor-in the current values which were set before slicing and printing.
Explain how to multiply the values if the model is scaled up by 200%. The current model is too small when printing with a 0.8mm nozzle, and if scaling the model 200%, should the reading be doubled too?
