X-Y Calibration Test

thingiverse

This gives you the chance to fine-tune your printer's settings for both X and Y, ensuring accuracy at various scales. You can now verify precision in X and Y across multiple tests, making an informed decision about the optimal balance between the two. After calibrating with the standard 20mm cubes, I moved on to printing larger components that demanded high precision. However, I encountered issues such as failing to fit a bearing into its designated recess, which left me puzzled. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that my printer was consistently producing parts at about 98% of their intended size. I initially thought this was a minor issue, so I increased the part's dimensions in the slicer. But to my surprise, the final product turned out to be slightly sloppy. Further investigation revealed that while my X-axis measurements were spot on (100.05mm), my Y-axis readings were off by 2mm, indicating that I had only calibrated one axis throughout.
