Prototypes - test objects - And much more

• Various tests, suitable primarily around the Ultimaker 2, but also applicable for other 3D printers. Nozzle Size: Approximately 0.42mm / Wall Thickness: About 0.43mm. You are entirely responsible for your actions and should take all risks into consideration. Instructions Whatever you want to test, the process is up to you. Some items here are not printable and have no description available, so don't be surprised if this occurs occasionally. This section is used for other purposes as well. A few of these objects are nearly finished prototypes and may later become tested designs that you can access through our website. If you have spare time, you could try out different printing materials and share your feedback with us. If there's a particular item that stands out to you, and you'd like to contribute towards improving it, feel free to reach out to us via our contact page. Some parts of these objects may appear in red - indicating areas where support materials or structures should be removed entirely after printing. Quick explanations follow: • Test-Accuracy (M3M4): This is a basic test designed to find the ideal settings for screws. The results will provide the required settings, making sure the screw fits properly. • Test-Axis-Moving: Disregard all skirts while performing this motion test across a broad range of areas within the UM2 platform. Be cautious and take note that fan trays might interfere with retaining clips from the bed that must be corrected before proceeding. Be on the lookout for excessive noise during testing; it's normal for everything to operate smoothly when it's functioning properly. Run this test at a very slow pace if you're attempting to lubricate your axes. Check the walls created at the end of the process - they should meet high standards in quality. • Test-Bed-Alignment: Turn off all skirts, and run through a comprehensive exercise checking the alignment of your print bed. Before committing to expensive materials, it's crucial to ensure that this test has been completed correctly. It is imperative you examine this before investing much valuable material on possible failures. • Test-Surface - Check for initial surface quality by running this simple test using an object. Without infill printing, you can figure out how thick the top and bottom layers are supposed to be - or adjust settings to achieve optimal finish results. The outcome will also give insight into just how much fill you'll need. • Test-Wall-043: This specific test, designed mainly for measuring Print Quality, provides multiple benefits: use it by printing many objects with varying materials to analyze quality, and experiment using different print settings to get optimal results for your chosen material.
