RE: Article: Calibrating Filament for Functional Prints

Thank you for including the links.  Following your procedure should ensure that your prints are very close to design specifications.

My procedure is very close to yours.  I just learned a couple of things from your procedure that I may add to mine.

For my vase mode, I designed an octagon shape to measure angled printing as well.  I have noticed that is does make a difference.  As a side note, my little octagon shape is a nice size for mixing up small amounts of epoxy.

For filaments that I am going to do large prints with, I do a large calibration test.  Full print plate for X/Y cross and a full Z height tower.  It can make a difference.
