I have a MK3.5 upgraded from a MK3S, and a Revo 6 hotend on it.
When ever i change the revo nozzles i like to quickly check if i need to adjust the Z height slightly, that is what these squares are for.
Each set of squares is one layer high for the relevant nozzle, i.e.:
0.15mm high for the 0.25mm nozzle,
0.20mm high for the 0.4mm nozzle,
0.35mm high for the 0.6mm nozzle,
0.40mm high for the 0.8mm nozzle.
I keep the 2 folders (PLA and PETG) in another folder (that i call ‘Revo Calibration Squares’) on my printers USB stick, and simply select and print the set of squares relevant for my newly fitted nozzle size and filament (only PLA or PETG so far)
As they print i adjust the live Z on the printer up or down a little as each square begins to print, Do not adjust the live Z as they continue to print, you want a square printed at one Z height, then the next square printed at a slightly higher or lower Z height and so on, so you can compare them.
Write down or remember the number shown on the display for the Z height you set for each square,
i like to use a post it note and space the 4 Z heights i write down across the paper, then i can peel each printed square off and lay it under it's relevant Z height number on the post it.
The prusa print plate scraper print is ideal for peeling these single layer squares off the build plate one at a time.
After all 4 have printed you can feel and look at them and see if:
The nozzle is too high : squares pull apart easily.
Too low : Ripples from the nozzle digging into the plastic as it's extruded.
Or just right : Smooth surface with no holes around the edges.
Then alter the live Z height to the number you wrote down (or remembered) for the square that's ‘just right’
When i do this adjustment usually adjust the Z height 0.005mm between each square.
If none of them are ‘just right’, print them again and adjust the live Z further up or down as needed, choosing a larger number to adjust between squares if needed, and lower that number between sets of printed squares as you dial it in.
