Helix Test Cube / Filament Sample / XYZ Calibration

thingiverse

I wanted to have a test print which I can use to test the dimensional accuracy of my printer and the print quality of my filaments. But it should also be pretty enough to keep as a color sample afterwards. So I created this <b> 30x30x30 mm </b> cube which contains several functions. The print takes about 1.5 hours. <b> You can check the following properties on this cube: </b> - stringing - bridging (are the bridges over the letter clean, including the large area inside?) - ghosting / ringing - overhangs - dimensional accuracy in all axes - first layer height (is the logo clearly visible on the underside, are there holes in the narrow areas?) - Was the helix printed neatly with a single wall line? - Are there problems with the Z-seam due to the many retraction? - Was the Z printed neatly on the top? You can also try breaking out the Y, if that is too easy you may have to reduce the cooling or increase the printing temperature. <b> Note: Since some people with a nozzle larger than 0.4mm had the problem that the slicer did not slice the Helix (minimum wall thickness for slicing) I added versions for 0.6mm and 0.8mm nozzles. </b> <b> Have fun printing and take a look at my other designs! </b> <b> If you want to share this model, it would be nice if you cite the following link as the source: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/69934 thank you! </b>
