If you want to print a target, from what distance do you go? Do you measure the distance from the sensor or from the shooting line, front feet, eyes? This provides quite a difference in diameter. I use an Scatt MX-02.

The distance to the target should be measured from your sensor's lense, rather than from your shooting position. That's because we got to take into account the fact that your extended hand/gun will cut the physical distance during the actual practice session by approximately 0.5 meters.

P.S. I'm moving this thread into the Q&A section
