A more complex calibration object...

Object STL: 5mm Calibration Cube Steps by MCroucher on Thingiverse
Material: 3mm ABS (Velleman from reprapuniverse.com)
Hotend: 245°C 1st layer, then 240°C
Heatbed: 115°C 1st layer, then 110°C
Heatbed adhesion: 3 layers of Fructis Bamboo Extract Hairspray, extra hold nr 6
Layer height: 0,2mm
Nozzle: 0,4mm
Gcode generated with Slic3r
Object printed with Pronterface

Issues


  • the 10mm bridge is not that clean, the 5mm bridge is perfect though
  • object is warping after some layers, need to find out why (more adhesion needed?, heatbed temp too high?, etc?)
  • corners for short edges are more rounded off than corners for long edges (top 5 mm)

Good stuff


  • Extrusion calibration is near perfect
  • X, Y & Z-axis calibration is near perfect (calipers confirm!)


Maybe try PLA next?
