Ultimate clearance calibration test

thingiverse

This is the ultimate calibration test to determine how much clearance you must leave between two parts to prevent them from melting into one object. Print it and press the pins in descending order, starting from the lower right and moving left, then from the middle right going left, and finally from the first line going left. The last pin can be detached without a hammer is the one that indicates the minimum space you must leave between objects in your designs to avoid printing a whole block. The clearance of the pins are as follows: (0.2mm) (0.3mm) (0.4mm) (0.5mm) (0.6mm) (0.7mm) (0.8mm) (0.9mm) (1.0mm) (1.1mm) Print Settings Printer: Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: What you want. I use to print at 0.2mm per layer Infill: 100% Notes: You can experiment with different printing settings to check if the needed clearance is reduced or not. History of the Model Why did I make this? This project started when I printed an object with interlocking parts that printed as a whole block. So, I found this excellent test and wanted to print it but... hey, it was huge! Much time, much filament. That's why the idea to optimize at maximum the object to minimize time requirement and filament to use was born.
