Based on <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:915435">Customizable Temp Calibration Tower</a> by eibwen Adds the ability to remove holes and create a text for your test material USAGE: 1. Check your material's recommended temperature range 2. Customize your temperature tower with Thingiverse's customizer, adding 2 steps above and below the recommended temperature (if your recommended temperature is 240-270, use 220-290 in steps of 10) 3. Open your tower in Cura or your slicer of choice and duplicate the tower with a short distance between them 4. In Cura, go to Extensions > Post-processing > Modify G-code and add a ChangeAtZ trigger by height changing temperature onwards (for other slicer software, find yourself how to do this; share back if you do) 5. Print your towers 6. Sacrifice one tower by breaking up each section at half the temperature block and look for the first temperature where layers have a rough break If the break is clean, adhesion strength between layers is not good If you find that the first layer with good adhesion and better finish has stringing, increase your retraction settings and try again now with a smaller tower to speed up the process. After tuning your temperature, print the Kickstarter/Autodesk validation model https://github.com/kickstarter/kickstarter-autodesk-3d/tree/master/FDM-protocol
