A simple model for marking the center of the heatbed for example for adjusting position of the webcam.

 

There are two versions of the model:

thick - 2mm height

thin - 0.4mm height

as well as parametric FreeCAD file to make your own version.

 

printing:

  • make sure the model is positioned in the center of the heatbed (or a place you want to mark)
  • prints well with PLA and default slicer settings
  • one can use maximum layer height to print it even faster
  • print thin version with 0.2mm layer height

 

parametric model:

  1. open the *.FCStd file in FreeCAD (https://www.freecad.org/downloads.php)
  2. double click object ‘dimensions’ from the object tree
  3. in the spreadsheet that opened set the dimensions as you wish
  4. right click on the ‘mark’ object and ‘recalculate’ it
  5. select ‘mark’ object and change the workbench to ‘mesh’ (in upper-left corner of the screen)
  6. with the ‘mark’ object chosen click ‘to mesh' and accept the operation
  7. select the created mesh and export it to *.stl file

 

Let me know if you find another application of this model :)

Happy printing!
