The XYZ Calibration Cube was created by iDig3Dprinting. This is because some inconsistencies can be caused by an uneven bed, so do make sure that your bed is properly leveled, and that you measure the cube at its top, just to be sure. One user has pointed out that you should measure the cube at its top layers to get more accurate readings. The following video is a great tutorial on printing the XYZ Calibration Cube and how you should configure your 3D printer accordingly. If you happen to measure 19.50, 20.00, 20.50mm for the X, Y, and Z axes respectfully, then you can adjust your e-steps for the individual axis to get it closer to the 20mm measurement This can determine whether your 3D printer is creating dimensionally accurate objects or not. The calibration cube has three axes: X, Y, and Z and the idea is that they should all measure 20mm when you print the cube. The XYZ Calibration Cube is a popular calibration test that helps you tune your 3D printer so it becomes more accurate and precise for making high-quality 3D prints. The 3DBenchy was created by CreativeTools. One interesting tip that one user discovered is that you can check for under or over extrusion by sticking the chimney of one Benchy into the box of another Benchy. There is even a 3DBenchy Facebook Group where you can ask for advice and get some feedback about your Benchy. TeachingTech made a great video that goes over how to troubleshoot your 3DBenchy if it isn’t coming out perfect. You can find the specific measurements of what your Benchy should measure up to on the 3DBenchy Measure page. The goal is to 3D print a 3DBenchy that can successfully handle overhangs, bridging, inclines, small details, and dimensional accuracy. The 3DBenchy is probably the most 3D printed object and most popular calibration test of all time, giving users a “torture test” that can be used to see how well a 3D printer can perform.
