3D Print Thickness Tester

This 3D Print Thickness Tester is a handy tool to use when you are designing a 3D model and are trying to decide how thick a given feature should be.  Not sure if 1.0mm walls will be thick enough for the strength your part needs?  Use the 3D Print Thickness Tester!  Not sure if 0.6mm is too rigid for your living hinge?  Use the 3D Print Thickness Tester!  Not sure if your magnet will work properly through 0.8mm of material?  Use the 3D Print Thickness Tester!

The 3D Print Thickness Tester has an overall size of 240mm by 40mm and consists of 12 connected tiles that are each 20mm wide by 40mm tall with varying heights of 0.2mm, 0.4mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.4mm, 1.6mm, 1.8mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm, and 4.0mm.

All tiles are labelled with their thickness, and the included 3MF slicer files add text to identify the type of filament used for the 3D Print Thickness Tester (PLA and PETG 3MF files provided for PrusaSlicer).

Two versions are provided:

1 - MMU (AMS) version for printers that can print 2 colors per layer

2 - cutout version for printers that can only print 1 color per layer

The provided STL files can be printed in PLA or PETG (or any other material) and do not require supports.

PrusaSlicer 3MF files are provided for Prusament PLA and Prusament PETG.

G-code files are provided for the Original Prusa MK4 using Input Shaper at 0.2mm layer height with a 25% grid infill.

The 2-color 3D Print Thickness Testers seen in the photos were printed on an Original Prusa MK4 with an MMU3 (Multi Material Upgrade) with FilaCube White + Red PLA and Prusament Transparent Neon Green + Jet Black PETG with a 0.4mm nozzle at 0.2mm layer height with a 25% grid infill.

The single-color 3D Print Thickness Tester seen in the photos was printed on an Original Prusa MK4 with Sunlu Gray PETG with a 0.4mm nozzle at 0.2mm layer height with a 25% grid infill.
