We Thought It Would Also Make a Nice Decorative Piece, Show You Friends That You Are a Maker. The piece is 60mm x 60mm x 7mm, this size means that you can test the flatness of your bed and bed adherence. The lettering will give you a good idea of how well your printer deals with xy feature detail. We Created This Model by Importing Our Logo as a .SVG File into Freecad The techniques used are the same as in our guide on creating a 20mm 3D printer calibration cube in Freecad. (https://www.idig3dprinting.co.uk/news/how-to-guides/create-a-3d-printer-calibration-cube-in-freecad/) We Tested and Printed These Results Using a Prusa i3 Loaded with 3Dom Filaments Ingeo PLA.
