Why such a thin layer height? 0.2mm would print faster. 0.3mm prints even faster and can be stronger due to thicker layers and a whole bunch fewer layer to layer bonds. Of course the surface finish is rougher but at least for experimenting it would make the test models much quicker to print.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm too used to not using tool wear compensation that I forget about that. I only have to compensate for Z and X differences when they are too much of a trouble for the finishing grinding process after, and I usually do that by hand from time to time. I certainly can
