Check out our latest release of Version 2 at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1019228 . For more information, head over to http://www.whoote.com . This test file is intentionally challenging and will help you assess your printer's capabilities with complex printing and slicing settings. Does your printer have what it takes to tackle this ultimate part? You'll get instant results by testing these parameters included in the tiny file: The object measures 4x50x50mm (baseplate) dimensions. It features three precision-crafted holes with diameters of 3/4/5mm, along with an M4 nut that fits perfectly. Delicate details include pyramids, cones, and exact measurements. Rounded print features include a wave pattern and half-sphere geometry. This test file also includes checks for the following parameters: Minimum distance between walls: .1/.2/.3/.4/.5mm Overhangs at 25°/30°/35°/40°/45° angles Bridge prints with lengths of 2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9mm Flat surfaces and precise tolerances throughout. Many potential issues can occur, such as: If your print bed is not leveled, try using a micrometer for better results. Check your axis (Y/X/Z) clearance to avoid problems with moving mass at higher speeds. Re-evaluate your slicer settings and configuration to eliminate bugs. Properly adjust retract settings to prevent blobs or holes on retract positions. Avoid overheating by keeping temperatures within 60-200mm/s and printing infill as quickly as possible. Not all printers can reach this range, so experiment to find your optimal speed. For legible text results, consider using a smaller nozzle or an alternative slicer.
