While trying to dial in some small print in place hinges on my A1M using .2MM nozzle and .06MM layer heights, I have been playing around with XY contour compensation. To my pleasant surprise, I have found differences in the G code for even 1 micron adjustments to XY contour compensation. For example, changing from .04MM of XY contour comp to .041MM led to a .22MM length difference in filament extruded over the total print. Did it lead to a noticeable difference in the actual print? Not in my opinion but at least I know some parameters actually differed between prints
I wanted to share because researching this before simply examining the G-code led me down some seriously misled paths. I was led to believe certain changes in BambuStudio make no change to the outputted G code due to slicer resolutions, rounding, or one changed setting overriding another (common in my experience?).
I guess the biggest moral of the story is that if setting changes become too hard to view via the slicer preview, simply comparing the G code is best
