Single Wall Alignment Test

thingiverse

This test print checks the Z axis smoothness, over/under extrusion, and belt slack. It also highlights the need for an alarm to prevent plastic running out. The clear blue design on the left failed due to lack of material, while the far right shorty also didn't work. Adjusting the Z height in .01 increments helped achieve the perfect print in the middle. Color consistency remains a challenge, and the escape code is mentioned in the instructions. The clear blue design can hold water, but ambient temperature affects it. Bottom cracking occurs when squeezing the sides, possibly due to focus on Z attributes and one-layer bottom printing. This model might need tweaks as it's a shell with .5mm thickness and single-layer bottom printing. Instructions are simple: print and then iterate (up to 100 times) by tweaking the skein or printer until satisfied, and then move on to other tasks.
