Perfect Accuracy ?!

Hi

This is just to show how accurate the Prusa i3 mk2 can be. I think these are good values for a "Desk" printer 🙂

What do you think ?

Cube 20x20, hollow 🙂

Very nice. What filament? Is that PETG? What temperature extruder?

What's the brand of the caliper ? The accuracy of the best models seem to be about 0.02 mm - so that's really good !

Re: Perfect Accuracy ?!

How is the brand of caliper related to accuracy of the printer? 😉

You obviously don't own a cheap Chinese Vernier caliper... 😉

Rightly said. I am now feeling the pinch with my 10$ Chinese digital vernier. Mitutoyo seems to be a good option here - costs the equivalent of 100$ US here in India. No much in-between options 🙁 So I have to ask...

I've got a Mitutoyo. Sometimes you can find them for sale used.

Re: Perfect Accuracy ?!

Hi, I'm new to the MK2. I've been trying to get really tiny 1inch prints. I've learned I need to work on the support material...Its super strong. Slic3r default settings make insanely strong support material. Anyway, that cube looks like something I can help tune my printer with, and is great for my "tiny things" collection. Where can I get that calibration cube? Is it best to just look on Thingiverse? Does someone have it already sliced for Mk2? Thank you.

You can find tons of calibration cubes (or other objects) on Thingiverse.

The iGaging ABSOLUTE ORIGIN Digital Electronic Calipers look like they are really nice. They have received some good reviews and are reasonably priced.
