XYZ Calibration Test - Vase Mode

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**

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)

XYZ Calibration Test

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.


Testlement

Testlements are small, simple test prints that are great for showing off your filament collection. (Named after their likeness to battlements and being test prints) Testlements are designed to use only a few grams of filament, making them economical and eco-friendly. They are also easy to print, requiring no supports or rafts. You can print Testlements in different sizes, colors, and materials, mix and match them, and even pop them together in groups (as shown in pics). 
Testlements are fun and useful test prints that let you test your 3D printer settings and showcase your filament choices. (Making them Great for showcasing filament choices for prints on places like Etsy) Try them today and see how they can transform your 3D printing experience.

Calibration Measurements:
20 mm wide and long (at its largest points)
