Calibration Cube A calibration cube is a small, cube-shaped test print used to assess and fine-tune a 3D printer’s accuracy. It typically includes dimensional markers (e.g., 20x20x20 mm) and is printed to test parameters such as X, Y, and Z-axis alignment, extrusion rates, and layer height. Any deviations in the printed cube’s dimensions can indicate issues like over-extrusion, axis misalignment, or belt tension problems. Regularly printing calibration cubes helps ensure precise, high-quality prints. |
