Precision Calibration - CHIA
First publication!
Precision torture test for BOTH printer AND slicers.
Print with slowest speed and 50% infill AND AGAIN at 5/10% infill
X carriage features 10mm cubes stepping down 5mm
Y axis features 0.5mm stepdowns upwards
Downward Y is 0.2mm stepdown and a 0.5mm inset.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR:
- MASSIVELY IMPORTANT that if you're on ABS you allow your model to COOL before measurement
- Trim model CAREFULLY, undercut if you need to in order to preserve the face
- Look for edges being "square" and not rounded off, scalloped or distorted.
- Differences between 5/10% and 50% infill will give insight as to how the material cools and "contracts"
- Always observe perpendicular to the surface being measured with your calipers - observe dips or sags.
TAKE 3 PANADOL/ACETOMENOFEN and call me in the morning! Welcome to the headache of reprap!
