10mL Volume Test

thingiverse

Perform a 10mL test to determine your printer's average deposition speed. The test consists of a 1mL adhesion plate and nine additional cubes. Measure the time from start to completion, then divide by 10,000 for the rate. Print without support, at 100% infill with a layer height factor of 0.4 (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, or 0.4). To ensure accurate start and end times, insert a g-code "pause" after skirts and at the last extrusion, allowing for user input and automatic log timing if available. Assess your printer's dimensional accuracy by placing the final print in a measuring jug; it should displace approximately 10mL.
