Original file : nozzle-to-nozzle-xy-offset-calibration-pattern.scad

Initial demand : issues#15

Licence for the Calibration Multi Extruder: CC BY-SA 3.0

Printing Conditions

 - Nozzle Size : 0.4 mm
 - Layer Height : 0.2 mm
 - Initial Layer Height : 0.2 mm
 - Line Width : 0.4 mm
 - Wall Line Count : 3
 - Top/Bottom Thickness : 0.8 mm

Printing Time = 7mn

Instructions

Two neighbouring paratmetrize-able combs where the center teeth are aligned. The one's teeth has an offset of 2mm the others' teeth offset is 2.2mm (same principle as the caliper). With that comb you can immediately spot the offset within a rage of +/-2mm by finding the teeth that perfectly match. Ideally its the two in the center.

Arguments OpenScad File

  • teeth_count number of teeth
  • tooth_width width of one single tooth
  • tooth_height height of teeth / comb
  • tooth_length length of one single tooth
  • teeth_gap space in between teeth
  • comb_clearance comb to comb distance
  • base_height comb base (optional), set to 0 to disable
  • render_mode 0 ... all, 1 for nozzle 1, 2 for nozzle 2

Time Optimisation

As noted by rubienr in this discussion. Printing time can be reduced by printing only the outer walls. It is also interesting to create a Skirt close to the parts so that the parts can be removed at once.

Under these conditions, the print parameters would be (on both Extruder) :

Printing Conditions

 - Nozzle Size : 0.4 mm
 - Layer Height : 0.2 mm
 - Initial Layer Height : 0.2 mm
 - Line Width : 0.4 mm
 - Wall Line Count : 2
 - Top/Bottom Layers: 0
 - Infill Density : 0%

 - Build Plate Adhesion Type : Skirt
 - Skirt Distance : **0 mm**

Printing Time = 3mn
