Horizontal & Hole expansion tests

thingiverse

The 2 Tests are to Dial in the Horizontal Expansion and the Horizontal Hole expansion. The 2 versions have: - 40mm Plug-Size, 40mm Hole-size, 60mm Frame-Size - 20mm Plug-Size, 20mm Hole-size, 40mm Frame-Size Of course, you can adjust the size in Cura if wanted... Be sure to place the Seam in a way to have it in a round part of the plug to not being bothered by blobs from layerchanges. --> Place it at 45°, 135°, 225° or 315° / Top-Left, Top-right. Bottom-left or Bottom-right in Cura Start with all 3 Expansions @ 0.0mm. - Dial the outer dimension first (Horizontal expansion) - Then, Dial in the Hole-Size (Horizontal Hole expansion) - Lastly (Can also be done during the other 2 tests) adjust for elefants foot (Initial Layer horizontal expansion). To not being bothered initially with elefants foot, you can fit them / test them TOP to TOP: Flip one part after printing and match them with chamfered sides. I often print them with 0 Bottomlayers and 0 Top layers... Oh... cura has Hole expansion in RADIUS and not Diameter. So, if your hole is 0.3mm too small initially, go with 0.15mm hole expansion.
