I used Bambu Lab P2S for this print. The filament was Bambu Lab PETG Basic. Bambu Studio was the slicer.

Lesson learned the hard way: never ignore filament shrinkage! My initial parts had awful tolerances, but thankfully, I discovered the fine-tuning and shrinkage compensation settings in Bambu Studio to fix the geometry.

BUT... I still have a major unresolved issue. The weight distribution on the moving parts is completely uneven, and I honestly can't figure out why. 🤷‍♂️

Is it an infill issue? Slicer settings? Something else? How do you guys balance your 3D-printed mechanical parts? I need your help on this one! Thanks.
