Flow Calibration Cube 60x60x15

prusaprinters

<p>Created this quick model for better flow calibration. I have found that when printing larger models after calibrating flow with a 20x20 cube, I usually end up with some form of under extrusion somewhere in the model I'm printing.&nbsp;<br><br>To solve my problem, I extended the width and length of a standard cube to 60mm on x and y. This gives me a better idea of flow when it comes to bigger models.<br><br>Also, I had some spare filament and thought what better way to use almost finished spools of filament than to calibrate and tune your printer!&nbsp;</p><p><strong>NOTE: </strong><i>You will need digital calipers to calibrate your flow. You can find fairly priced good models on Amazon if you don't already have one.</i><br><br><strong>Calibration Steps</strong></p><ol><li>Set print to use spiralize/vase mode.&nbsp;<ul><li>Prusaslicer - go to<strong> Print settings &gt; Vertical Shells &gt; Spiral vase</strong> <i>(check the box)</i><br><a href="https://help.prusa3d.com/article/layers-and-perimeters_1748#spiral-vase">https://help.prusa3d.com/article/layers-and-perimeters_1748#spiral-vase</a></li><li>Cura - go to Special Modes &gt; <strong>Spiralize Outer Counter </strong><i>(check the box)</i><br><a href="https://all3dp.com/2/cura-vase-mode-all-you-need-to-know/">https://all3dp.com/2/cura-vase-mode-all-you-need-to-know/</a></li></ul></li><li>Print the model</li><li>Go to this link <a href="https://www.layerfused.com/3d-printer-calibration">https://www.layerfused.com/3d-printer-calibration</a><ul><li>Scroll down to the section titled <strong>Flow Compensation&nbsp;</strong></li><li>Enter the flow rate value you used to print the model</li><li>Enter the nozzle size you are using</li><li>Using your digital calipers, measure each individual wall and enter the measurements in each respective input field. ***</li><li>The number returned is your new flow rate.</li></ul></li><li>Print model again to verify the flow calibration</li></ol><p><strong>Example: </strong><i>For a standard 0.4mm nozzle each wall should measure 0.4mm.
