Recurring ScanRuler (CNCKitchen) errors, by impact

  1. 1A user prints parts, scans them and compares against the STEP. "The colour map shows exactly where the print warped or shrank... But that's where it ends." Today the fix is "editing the CAD by hand and guessing from the colour map," and the tools that do proper distortion compensation "are expensive commercial packages." The ask is a compensated mesh export, with a pinned bed face and a strength setting. Measured data that never flows back into the model. A first-person workaround with a clear price gap.MCAD · Agent failure · 1 report74
  2. 2A scan measurement app and its MCP server kept six significant digits in answers, so large absolute coordinates lose 0.1 mm or more. session.reset reported success after a failed reset, and picture tools claimed to be read-only and still overwrote files.MCAD · Agent failure · 1 report66
  3. 3The scan-to-CAD guide says inner wall and inset take only a number, but the source accepts a parameter expression. An agent following it types the wall as a number and loses the parameter link. Docs and code drifted, and the agent trusts the docs.MCAD · Agent failure · 1 report66
