20 mm cube print test
Here is a test print using the Slicer driver found here: http://www.prusa3d.com/drivers/
I printed out a 20 mm cube using the "NORMAL" settings" and here examined the results using a USB microscope.
I am sharing the results here:

The top level excel file contains the slicer settings in CSV format and the sub-folder(s) contain images of the result.
There are a few things I would like to improve on so I am looking for advice.
First, the bottom of the cube has "elephant" foot as it flares out. What tweaks could be done to get that more straight? As for the other images, I would like to have some comments about your thoughts.
Thanks Prusa!
Re: 20 mm cube print test
Hi, If the first layer is bigger, you should try re-calibrating the nozzle and bed distance. You need to have it bit bigger to reduce the "elephant foot". First layer is usually the ugliest 🙁
💡 One tip I can give you about the Z-scar (line where the printer moves to different layer) there are multiple settings, I usually use aligned, but I think it would look better at random for objects like cube and similar.

What is the proper calibration steps? Do you have that documented on your site ? If so can you put the link here.
Thanks!
