Calibration cube

thingiverse

Try out the following products, and that will also help me a bit. Thank you! This is a simple calibration cube with sides 20mm * 20mm * 20mm and the X, Y & Z letters 15mm * 15mm and letter depth 3mm. After printing this cube, check the sizes with a vernier caliper or a micrometer screw gauge - you can find links to buy these if you don't have them - to test your printer's accuracy. Most materials shrink a bit when cooling, so you can find the shrinking percentage and scale up your prints slightly to get the exact dimensions, usually. This may vary from filament to filament and design to design, though, so you'll need to adjust accordingly. To do this, divide 20 by the length you have on each side, then multiply the model's dimensions by that value for each axis to get much more accurate measurements.
