Feature Request Larger Z calibration Test Print
Getting older sucks and for some of us getting older means diminished eyesight.
I would like to request a larger Z Calibration Test Print. The little 3/4" square it prints at the end is the only real way for me to get a good ideal if the Z is set right. It would be great if we had the option of lets say a quick calibration (the one we have now) and a slower one with a much larger single layer square so us less Eagle Eyed have a better chance at getting it set right.
I cant image it would be all that hard to add to the firmware.
Ok so Im not graying yet but its a cute Grandpa with a 3d Printer.

Hope that helps.

Edit: change the X and Y %'s to make it larger or smaller. I have different sizes for different printers.
Re: Feature Request Larger Z calibration Test Print
Thanks, Neal but your file didn't work. It just loops back tot he forum homepage. 😉
Never mind I found it https://shop.prusa3d.com/forum/assembly-and-first-prints-troubleshooting-f62/life-adjust-z-my-way-t2981.html#p107492
Still would be nice to have this right on the control board.

Re: Feature Request Larger Z calibration Test Print
Okay then search this forum for life z adjust my way. I probably messed up the link some how. It is basicall a 75mm by 75mm square with a single layer of .2. I think you can find them on Thingyverse also. Search under Calibration Square.
Sorry I messed it up.

Gotcha...looks like we just keep missing each other. If you are at the thread then read the whole thing if you get the time. It'll eventually lead to hyper fine bed leveling.
Luck,

Re: Feature Request Larger Z calibration Test Print
you can always just make one. and save it on each sd card.
I have a Prusa,therefore I research.
Re: Feature Request Larger Z calibration Test Print
if you add a sub directory called 'Test' you can include your test files there and they don't get lost in the multitude of print files in the main SD root directory

I could have sworn I read someplace that subdirectories don't show up on the SD card(?) (Or perhaps I'm having a "senior moment"...)

Know how you feel. Though sometimes I wonder if the moments aren't expanding into days. Oh well I may HAVE to grow old but I don't have to grow UP.

Re: Feature Request Larger Z calibration Test Print
I know at least with earlier firmware versions there was mention of short filenames in the root directory either causing problems or being required. That pretty well covers all the bases! 😉

I've had no real issues using subdirectories. The root of my FlashAir SD card looks something like:
Once in a while the card gets confused and only shows the 8 character DOS filenames, or sorts oddly. I just remove and re-insert it and everything works properly. I have no problems with nested subdirectories or long filenames.

We gave up on the SD card entirely. A USB flash drive hasn't had any problems, and since we're printing through Pronter McPronterface via USB anyway, everything's copacetic. 😛

Up is fine, it's the various outward growths that annoy me most.

You're not having fun if your wife isn't always telling you to grow up.

Alternatively you can print the first layer of the Prusa logo as well

Hmmm... In my case, she's never said that in forty-mumble years, but we've always done a lot--and manged to stay young (minded 😉 )--together. 🙂
