Caliset, a material saving calibration kit

Last change : 2025/11/08

I've designed these objects in order to save time and material during pure calibration phases. The larger the preciser (logically). Although the rounded corners should not interfer with measurments, a bad jerk may still mislead results. Place your caliper diagonally between walls wihtout touching the corners if you're not sure (as shown in the picture). Some models have a little visual cue to recall their default orientation.

Note : solid objects must be printed in normal mode with zero tops and zero infill, thus letting you customize the number of wall lines (aka perimeters). They are for testing purpose, don't rely on them for measurments.

Flow : wall thickness is of 4 mm. The idea is to set an even number of wall lines so the denominator matches according to your nozzle diameter (usually 0.4). Overlaping and flow compensation may mislead results, but they should be left enabled IMO because they reflect real printing conditions. The more wall lines is printed, the better accuracy you'll get thanks to the reduced error range.

Retraction : The one with ripples are spaced by 1 mm.

Temp tour : 3mf files included as project from Cura.
If you want to slice it yourself, here is how to :
• Disable infill / zero tops / 3 wall lines (1.2 mm)
• Tour's start temperature (lowest) as default print temperature - and highest one as final print temperature
• Assuming you followed my setting recommendations, add the first temperature change at the target height of 11.25 mm, then one more at every +10 mm (so next target heights will be at 21.25 mm, 31.25 mm… until the last target which is 51.25 mm)
