Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Printing ABS parts comes up 0.6% smaller than intended design due to shrinkage

Describe the solution you'd like
We need a new filament setting where one can put a shrinkage percentage for X-Y and the every model imported that uses the said filament should be automatically resized on X-Y axis by that amount. We can ignore the Z shrinkage (as do many other slicers) as it's very very little.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Resizing objects manually or designing the parts oversized. Both are cumbersome and does not transfer well if you want your parts to be printed by somebody else too.

Additional context
Most slicers already have it. Some of them have it in print settings which is not ideal as shrinkage is strictly a material property thus it would be best to have it under filament settings.

Hello, I see it the same way tapir describes it. I would be incredibly excited to have this feature.
