Request to add an enlargement setting to the filament profile

I often use ABS or PC filament.
Since those filaments shrink a lot after printing, when printing a model with severe dimensions, scale the model by the calculated value for each filament before slicing.
But it’s not uncommon to waste filament and time by forgetting to set the scaling.
Also, when arranging multiple models on a plate, it is a lot of work to set the scaling for each model.

I understand that the reduction ratio depends on the material and brand of filament.
Therefore, if you can set the scaling value for each filament profile you created yourself, you should not need to set the scaling manually after that.

Cura already has this setting.
I would like BambuStudio to add this item as well.
Please let me know if it’s already there and I just don’t understand it.

Try Orca slicer , it connects and supports everything from Bambu Studio , plus shrinkage and other …

In saying if calibrated K factor and flow and slow cooldown with eSun ABS+ , practically the shrinkage is only around 0.5%-0.6% on a 36mm cube i get around 35.82mm i have not had case where needed to adjust yet as everything is printed the same . Some times a bit tight but depending on the tolerance
