Compressor Wheel

thingiverse

Disclaimer: Due to the recent incidents (things appearing on ebay) I just want to make something very clear: I do not allow any commercial use of my STL-files, my designs and my photos! Description: I wanted a quality calibration and demonstration thing for my 3D printer. And there are a lot of calibration things on thingiverse. But most of them are quite abstract and this is really booooring. So I designed something more realistic, something that lets me try different slicer settings and then directly see the results. And of course something I know how it should look like when printed. EDIT: I added a flat-laying version. Instructions Use your slicer and rotate the compressor wheel by 90° so that it lies plain on your bed. For an easy print set it to a scale of 75% or even 100% with a layer height of 0.2mm. If you want a more challenging print, try a scale of 50% and 0.05mm layer height. These are my settings: Ultimaker 3D printer (V1 hot end / V2 extruder) Cooling with two fans Gold PLA from faberdashery @ 200°C 50% scale 0.8mm wall 0.05mm layer height 10% fill 45 mm/s print speed (60 min print time / 3g weight)
