Generate Calibration Objects
Posted: Thu Feb 16, 2017 3:01 pm
Add the ability to generate simple prints to assist in calibrating printer and filament settings in simplify3d.
- Have a option to generate a temperature calibration pillar and have it emboss the temperature on the pillar as it goes up.
- Have the option to generate a extrusion multiplier pillar. Start a pilliar with a high extrusion rate and a fixed size like 20mmx20mm. Emboss the setting on the side as it goes up.
- Have a option to generate a speed setting pillar with the speed starting low at the bottom and increasing as it goes up. Emboss the setting on the side of the pillar as it goes up.
- Have a option to generate a first layer calibration object that prints lines or zig zags across the build plate and each line varies one parameter every 40-50mm or zag like: height, width, speed.
- Have the option to generate a retraction test that varies a selected parameter like: distance, extra restart, lift, speed, coasting, wipe.
- Have an option to generate a bridging object test that generates test objects that vary a selected parameter like: threshold, inflation, extrusion, speed.
These tests would help people dial in their settings on their printer so they can produce better prints and more fully enjoy 3d printing and simplify3D.
