Do you guys do anything to scale the models when growing in Yellow ?
I feel link my models are coming out a little small like .2 or.3mm

The latest version of contour allows you to compensate for the resin shrinkage. It's in File/Setup.

For the Scaling module, you enter the measurements that you need to get and what you're actually getting, and the software will compensate.

If you're just going to scale in contour, then it's hard to say for the yellow, but for the emerald, people have seen shrinkage of about 1.5%
