ADE Calibration Object

thingiverse

This is a compact, 30x30mm multi-testing calibration object. Print it to test your printer's mechanics and configuration. Designed specifically for 0.4mm nozzles but adaptable to other sizes too. If you require a custom variant, let me know in the comments section below. The hollow cube features a 1mm roof and bottom. Key areas to inspect: - Ringing/ghosting (examine walls near dots and X/Y character) - Bridging (check bridges on left side, measuring 4, 8, and 12mm) - Top layer finish (assess top surface of the cube) - Bed leveling & Z distance (investigate underside of object) - Cornering issues (if corners appear fat or you notice the points where bridges connect on the front side of the thin tower, consider adjusting linear advance / pressure advance settings) - Smoothness of arcs (e.g. test corexy/delta calculation speed) - 45-degree overhang (examine triangle on back side) - Infills (inspect top surface area and sides of bottom 5mm of cylinder) - Single wall quality (evaluate top 7mm of cylinder, crucial for printing R.C. airplanes) - Dimensional accuracy: Object is 30x30mm, cube is 20x20mm, cylinder is 20mm diameter - Elephant foot: Inspect if bottom few layers are fatter/wider than object dimensions - Z-wobble: Check for vertical pattern in thickness along Z axis - Retraction, acceleration: examine spiky tower for stringing problems - Overextrusion: Cylinder and cube should have a (nearly imperceptible) air gap between them. - Small details/towers: Evaluate the appearance of the spiky tower. - Overhangs: Check roundness and roof of 5mm hole in back. Enjoy printing this calibration object, and feel free to share your results with others. It's beneficial for comparison purposes if you can specify the make of this calibration object.
