Calibration Cube XYZ

This model allow you to print a calibration cube (The name can be a source of error. More than a calibration, it is a calibration control which is made with this model.) It's useful to see if your printer is accurate and calibrate some settings.

Dimensional accuracy

You have to print two cubes, with different sizes. If the dimensional inaccuracy scale with the size of the cubes, then it's the steps/mm of your steppers that needs some adjustments (note: if it's the case, you should also adjust the flow, and maybe redo some calibrations if the change is big). If it doesn't scale, you can correct it by adjusting your xy compensation (slicing tab).

Infill/perimeter overlap

This test is about to see if the pattern of the infill can be seen on the perimeters. Try to reduce it as low as you can but check the top solid fill, as it can create artifacts if it's too low.

Notes

Default size of the standard cube is 20mm.
