Test Cubes

prusaprinters

<p>These are three different 30mm test print "cubes" that test many different things with both the filament and the printer.</p> <p>I was designing and building a new printer, but needed something to test the print quality. There are a lot of test cubes available, but nothing that tested many different things at the same time such as cooling, dimensional accuracy, bridging, and toolhead/print bed oscillation.</p> <p>Dialing in a new printer is a lot like playing Whack-A-Mole. Every time I fixed one issue, two more popped up. So this print helped me a lot.</p> <p>Once I was able to print this cube out properly I was able to move onto more elaborate test prints that are available.</p> <p>The first image is a render using the Arnold Renderer, the next four are renders in Fusion 360, and the last picture is of actual prints.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>I have included three models. The traditional 30x30mm cube, a 30x70mm cube that helps more accurately identify Z axis issues, and a 30x6mm print that just tests bridging and the top layer.</p> <p>There is very little else to explain. Print settings are anything, a good print to use to help dial in your profiles.</p> <p>Again like most of my other prints published here, this was originally designed for my own use but felt that others may find value in it.</p> <p>Good luck!</p>
