Any resolution to this issue? My November 2023 P1S is having same issue.
Iām also struggling with thisā¦ I have now modified my design and made the holes ālongerā (top to bottom) in other words not round, to try and compensate for thisā¦
I am assuming this was never resolved? I have been ignoring this issue for 1500 hours because it never caused a problem for me as I donāt print many functional parts. I am starting to print different stuff and need to resolve this issue now. Did they give up on finding a solution?
I use this technique with my horizontal holes. The issue is due to a limitation of FDM printing and this makes the holes fit.
Holes Horizontal
Recommended Value: a ā layer height
In order to print horizontal holes with a better tolerance, it is recommended to model the additional features in the image where the offset distance a, is the layer height of your print. If you are using a small layer height like 100Ī¼m you should do 2*a. This will accommodate for any drooping that will occur in the steep overhang sections of printed horizontal holes and the āflatteningā of the bottom of holes due to the stacked layer process.

I like the method of compensating for the irregularities. Handy information.
I also see this a lot but have just accepted it as a limitation (which it seems to be) and chase all horizontal holes with a drill or tap as the case may be. Some get rounder with an Xacto knife. Maybe not as accurate and could shift the holes slightly, but hasnāt been an issue for me yet.
