I made this filament shrinkage card so I could calculate how much to compensate during design. You print the card, and measure the steps, and then calculate the percentage the filament shrinks. The numbers on the card is the dimension the design is set to. Just mark the result on the card with a pencil og something for later.
Print with 0.2mm layer height (the markings are 0.4mm deep, meaning 2 layers).
My ender 3 S1 uses about 20 minutes to print the PLA card (2 top and bottom layers, 2 perimeters, 120mm/s), and about 4g of filament.
I have uploaded cards marked with PLA, PETG and ABS.
