PETG Temp Tower

thingiverse

I designed a temporary tower to discover the optimal print temperature for layer adhesion with PETG, and I included a stringing test tower along with 3 boxes per layer. Each box represents a different thickness: 1mm, 2mm, 3mm. This is to check wall strength at various temperatures. To resolve the delamination issues I'm experiencing with my PETG on the Ender 5 Plus, I created this temporary tower. The simple version prints faster because it consists of only one single 3mm wall tower without string testing, and it's intended for use with a 1mm nozzle. You can print with different nozzles; using a 1mm nozzle will simply require three passes. I added the "3 walls" version for those who use the standard 0.4 mm nozzle. The walls of the simple tower are 1.2mm thick, so three standard width perimeters per layer are necessary. Additionally, I included the "2 walls" version for users with a standard 0.4 mm nozzle. In this case, the walls of the simple tower are 0.8mm thick, requiring two standard width perimeters per layer. The TempDesc240-215 design features 3mm thick walls, with temperatures ranging from 240 (at the bottom) to 215 (at the top), in 5-degree increments. The temperature decreases as the height increases. I noticed that each single tower still displays 3mm on the side near the top, even though it's not accurate, but I'm not willing to make the necessary corrections. Hopefully, this temporary tower will be useful for others as well.
