Calibration Wall (Rectangle)

thingiverse

You can easily create your own calibration object using the OpenSCAD file provided. Just enter the X and Y length, wall height, and wall thickness into the file according to your specifications. To calibrate accurately, start by modifying the SCAD file: replace the wall thickness with your nozzle diameter as the default setting. After compiling, render, and export the STL format. Now switch to your slicer software (such as Kisslicer), adjust the extrusion width to match your nozzle's actual size, and input a flow tweak factor of 1.0 for calibration purposes. Print this object carefully, paying special attention to the wall thickness at the final layers since they may vary from earlier ones due to printing conditions. After obtaining the real measured wall width (typically thinner than expected), calculate the Flow Tweak value by dividing the set extrusion width with your newly found measurement. Take for instance: Set Exrusion Width: 0.35mm Real Measured Width: 0.25mm Now let's do the calculation to find out our Flow tweak number. Now, go ahead and enter this new factor as a percentage in your software to optimize future prints successfully
