Compressor Wheel

Description:

I wanted a quality calibration and demonstration thing for my 3D printer. And there are a lot of calibration things on thingiverse. But most of them are quite abstract and this is really booooring. So I designed something more realistic, something that lets me try different slicer settings and then directly see the results. And of course something I know how it should look like when printed.

EDIT:

I added a flat-laying version.

Instructions

Use your slicer and rotate the compressor wheel by 90° so that it lies plain on your bed.

For an easy print set it to a scale of 75% or even 100% with a layer height of 0.2mm.

If you want a more challenging print, try a scale of 50% and 0.05mm layer height.

These are my settings:

Ultimaker 3D printer (V1 hot end / V2 extruder)

Cooling with two fans

Gold PLA from faberdashery @ 200°C

50% scale

0.8mm wall

0.05mm layer height

10% fill

45 mm/s print speed

(60 min print time / 3g weight)
