I Love 3D Printing Gag Gift Mug

Clogged nozzles, layer shifts, poor layer adhesion… anyone familiar with 3D printing will recognize these!

See here for video: https://youtu.be/FJbw00gRW_4  

Are getting or giving a 3D printer this holiday season? This model is the perfect first print! Just hit print and walk away. Any flaws will only make it better!

3D designing and printing teaches us to expect mistakes, plan for them, fix them and try again. If you are new to 3D printing, you can expect to have more than a few prints that come out looking something like this mug.

Disclaimer: All flaws in this model are intended and don’t represent the quality of the brands shown! Lulzbot makes excellent printers and eSun makes excellent filament. Both are great options for avoiding the 3D printing pitfalls that you see in this print!

XYZ_CallibrationCube.stl

This is a small and simple XYZ calibration cube for checking the dimensional accuracy of your printer.   The cube has X, Y and Z written along their respective axes.

Once printed either use an accurate ruler or callipers to measure the dimensions of the print. The original model size is 20mm*20mm*20mm however you may wish to resize it to be bigger (or smaller). 

Once you have measured your dimensions you may want to adjust the steps or steps per mm for each axis in your printers firmware - This may or may not be possible depending on your printer. 

To do this you will need to find your current Steps per mm, and then have your observed dimension and expected dimension.

To calculate the new Steps per mm you will need to do:

(Expected/Observed)*Current Steps per mm = New Steps per mm

It is also good as just giving a gauge of how well your 3D printer works with small over hangs and flat faces to check for Z-Banding or ghosting!

Easy Torture test -Torture Cube

This is a very easy very simple torture test to see the dimensional accuracy of your print and also slightly test your overhangs!!
This is a small ornate "cube" which can be printed in about 30-50mins depending on your settings.
I print one with faces parallel to the axes and then another at a 45 degree angle to test the diagonals of the printer.

Quick 10 minute print - 0.3 m of filament

Don't waste your precious time and filament printing a so called “calibration cube”!

This quick print provides clues for all the important features and settings:

Extrusion width
E-steps / rotation distance (X, Y, Z)
Bridging
Cooling
Overhangs
Speed / accelleration
First layer / bed adhesion
Retraction (stringing test, seam test)
Preassure advance / linear advance
Print Settings
1 perimeter
0.2 mm layer hight
3 bottom layers
Disable “Ensure vertical shell thickness” (PrusaSlicer)
No Infill, top layers, brim or supports

**Troubleshooting**
https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/wiki/troubleshootingandcalibration

Some quick tipps:

_**Extrusion width**_
Check if the thickness of one of the outside walls at the top matches the setting in your silcer
**_E-steps / rotation distance (X, Y, Z)_**
If the outside dimensions are not 20 mm but way off, correct the settings for the affected axis
**_Bridging / cooling_**
If the bridging perimeters in the top center are drooping/sagging, check cooling an bridging settings in your slicer
45° overhangs
If the perimeters in this section are drooping/sagging, check the part cooling and cooling settings in your slicer
**_Speed / accelleration_**
ringing, bulged corners - you may want to reduce speed and/or accelleration (also see Preassure advance / linear advance)
**_First layer / bed adhesion_**
If there are problems with the print adhering to the bed, check if
- the bed is level and parallel to the x-axis
- the bed is clean - no dirt or grease
- the bed temperature is correct
If the print is wider at the bottom (first few layers) than at the top, check your z-offset and first layer settings
**_Retraction (stringing test)_**
If you experience stringing, check your retraction and cooling settings
**_Preassure advance / linear advance_**
If large seam gaps or bulged corners appear, consider tuning your printer firmware settings for preassure advance (Marlin) / linear advance (Klipper)
