Mini Calibration pieces! For checking how level your build plate is
Description
Hey Guys! I'M In Charge Of My School'S 3D Printer And Recently We'Ve Been Having A Lot Of Problems With Leveling The Build Plate. Turns Out That Our Rubber Pads Have Worn Down And The Build Plate Has Been Coming Out Of Alignment. Currently, We Are Using A Fix Seen Here (Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:43050) Until We Can Get A More Permanent Fix, But Until Then, We Are Having To Level The Build Plate Quite A Bit. However, Sometimes I Level It And I Think I Have It Right, But Then I Print Something, And It Doesn'T Come Out Correctly. For Big Prints, That Can Be A Lot Of Wasted Filament. So I Designed These Neat Little Calibration Pieces So That I Could Quickly Test Calibration Before I Started A Big Print. Each Calibration Pieces Features Curves (In The Form Of A Circle, Heart, And Letter C) As Well As Straight Lines And Sharp Edges (The Square And The Heart) To Make Sure Your Printer Is Level Exactly The Way You Want It! A Single Calibration Piece Prints In About 3-4 Minutes And Weighs Less Than A Gram! For Those Of You Who Really Want To Make Sure The Build Plate Is Leveled Well, I Have A Second File With Five Calibration Pieces, One In Each Corner And One In The Middle. It Takes About 15 Minutes To Print And 2 Grams, But Those 15 Minutes Could Well Be Worth It On Something That Takes A Couple Of Hours To Print. Best Of Luck!
