Another first-layer test print - slice it for your printer's configuration!

<p>Have you ever wanted to redo your first-layer calibration, but you have a 0.6mm nozzle installed (or some other variant configuration)?</p> <p>The STL file below allows you to slice a first-layer test print for your printer's particular configuration.</p> <p>Test print operation:</p> <p>The test print begins with a large, hallow outline performing right-angle changes, curved changes, and skewed changes, plus a nozzle jump. It will print 2-5 perimeters (depending on nozzle size) for the outline.</p> <p>After the outline completes, 3 test shapes will be printed inside of the outline:</p> <ul> <li>rectangular strip</li> <li>triangle</li> <li>circle</li> </ul> <p>It will print another 1 to 3 layers on top, depending on slicer settings (max height is 0.65mm).</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>NOTE: while two GCODE examples are provided in the files section as examples, it is recommended that you slice the STL file for your own printer's settings per the instructions below.</p> <p>Pull the STL file into PrusaSlicer, and slice the model according to your printer's configuration, including:</p> <ul> <li>Filament type (i.e. PLA, PET, ABS, Flex, etc.)</li> <li>Nozzle Size (0.2mm, 0.4mm, 0.6mm)</li> <li>Layer height (0.1 - 0.3mm, depending on nozzle size)</li> </ul> <p>NOTE: it is recommended to slice the model withOUT a skirt [set Skirt: Loops (minimum) to "0"], and also do NOT select Brim or Raft options (these are off by default).</p> <p>On your printer, preheat for the appropriate filament, select the steel sheet setting you want to configure, and then begin printing the GCODE sliced from the model above.</p> <p>After printer has preheated and performed bed-level test, push and hold the selector to activate the first-layer calibration setting, and fine-tune the Z-offset calibration per the Prusa Printer manual.</p>
