This is a 20x20x20 mm calibration cube designed to test your 3D printer's accuracy and optimize print settings. The cube includes features for measuring dimensional precision and analyzing filament retraction. Perfect for fine-tuning your printer, ensuring clean corners, and minimizing stringing or blobs.
- Layer Height: 0.2 mm (for standard resolution)
- Wall Count: At least 2 walls for dimensional stability
- Infill: 100%
- Print Speed: 50-60 mm/s for consistent results
- Retraction Settings: Test with default values first (e.g., 1-2 mm retraction distance and 20-40 mm/s speed). Adjust based on stringing observed.
- Bed Adhesion: Use a heated bed at 60°C if printing in PLA or increase according to filament requirements. Apply glue stick or painter’s tape for additional adhesion if necessary.
- Cooling: Enable part cooling for sharper edges.
