Dual head Calibration Plate - Checker board

cults3d

This is a checker board pattern for helping to confirm calibration of a dual head printer. It will test XY axis alignment as well as ooze control for the idle head. The pattern of colors reverse during the second half of the print to give a third direction of reference for adjustments. The two parts are Cura scaled and oriented for printing. With the two parts loaded in the print space you select Dual Extrusion Merge and the parts will combine as a single print with two colors. Whichever part is loaded first will be the primary head and the second one will be the other. For best results use calibrated filament. You can find calibration clips for printers that can hold a 0.1mm tolerance or better here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1037301 I use these clips to calibrate my filaments as shown in the images.
