Calibration block using Calipers

thingiverse

This is work in progress. Fusion 360 has addressed their top and slicer top difference, which was previously a problem. I've optimized my settings by reducing the Z axis to XY, resulting in faster printing times. After several print tests with ambiguous results, I created a part that allows me to verify X, Y, Z, and E (filament width) with precision. The total width of an object is now calculated as width plus extrusion error. To eliminate this error, I've taken the difference between width and extrusion width. To check for XYZ accuracy, I use a specific method: first, I zero out my caliper on the 25 mm ledge. Then, I position the depth rod on the closer 5mm ledge to measure a -20 mm difference. I repeat this process for each channel to ensure that the initial results weren't a fluke. To verify E (filament width), I reset my caliper zero and measure the width of the walls at 1 mm and 2 mm, which gives me a close approximation. Sincerely, Lee
