100mm Test block for belt printer Z-axis calibration by NAK3DDesigns

Last crawled date: 3 years, 2 months ago

This is a test block for calibrating the Z-axis steps per mm on a belt printer. Print as oriented. Dimensions X=10mm, Y=5mm, Z=100mm.
Calibration directions.
Look up and record current z-axis Steps/mm
Print test block
Measure test block and record value.
divide 100 by length of test block from step 3 and record value.
Multiply value of step1 by value of step 4. (this is your new Z-steps/mm value)
Enter new value from step 5 as new Z-axis steps/mm value
Repeat this at least 3 times.
Store values to before powering off.
It is recommend to stop at a value greater than 100 like 100.03 instead of stopping at 99.97. This way you are less likely to have issues of over-extrusion due to insufficient z-axis movement.
