Simple Layer Height Bed Test

thingiverse

Here is a simple layer height bed test so you can finely tune your nozzle to bed height and get an even layer across your printer bed in the same print. before you start make sure your bed is clean....if you have a removable spring steel metal plate give it a good wipe with a brillo pad to dull it up and remove any oils debris ect. Its just a single 0.2mm layer test of 15x15mm squares in different places on your printer bed inside a 185x185mm square pattern. It has a 2.5mm thick perimeter around the squares which is printed first so you can adjust your bed as it prints...I always run my first layer very slow @ 15mm/s and with a nozzle temp of 195c with PLA and a bed temp of 70c....Any layers above this my bed temp drops to 50c with the nozzle remaining @ 195c to stop any edges/corners curling up in long prints which i now never get anymore. It only takes 12 minutes to complete and you'll see straight away were your bed needs adjusting.
