Description
Another calibration cube!
This is one of the first CAD models I made but never actually thought about uploading it. But since there are already so many of these out there with most of them just in their basic form or direct copies from one another I tried to deliver one with some more thought put into it and include the dimensional information for you to actually check and compare the results! This, is combination with resources available online, can help you tune your printer for better and cleaner results. Find the resource links below.
Check the drawing for dimensional information!
Looking for something a little different? Check out this cube with thread test!:
or a calibration cube with a fidgety twist? Try this one!
This current test print only uses roughly 10 grams of filament and takes 18 minutes (excl. bed leveling) on standard settings.
Calibration tests:
Flowrate / Dimensional accuracy (Check with calipers if the flow rate of your printer and filament are set correctly):
Cube is 30mm cubed
Cube has a diagonal size of 39,6 mm
Cube has various thicknesses to be assessed
Top surface flowrate check (gaps)
Bridging / Overhangs:
Z-plane has a bridge section that test your printer's bridging capabilities
X & Y plane have chamfered overhangs
Cube bottom has 45 degrees (2mm) overhangs and 2 radial filets of 2 mm
Ringing/ Ghosting:
Check the X and Y plane for ringing / ghosting
