Nothing like realizing you absolutely need a cooling fan!

Great little object, thanks. Very satisfying to print it string free with working retraction on a bowden using printer. 8-)

How do i go about configuring this too print well? Like what parameters would I change to improve the print for this model?

Came out pretty well! First attempt of the model on a MakerGear Mosaic. (Of course, lots of other prints died first in the name of calibration ;) ). .2mm layer height, 1.75mm PLA.

Looks great, awesome job! :-D

Man, I must have printed about 20 of these, but I think I finally got a respectable print. :D

made it 2day. looks good. some blobs on the inside of the 4 "sides" but the outsides are nice and the top goes to a 1mm circle

This is a really great object to use as a calibration piece, especially if you have a Bowden extruder.

I have printed 8 of them and spotted many issues with my settings that a simple calibration cube does not highlight.

Thanks.

Yes your right this is great for calibration. I also have a bowden. besides retraction I noticed that the higher the print head goes in the z, the more the tip starts to dig into the plastic. What setting should I change to make the print head go higher with every layer? Thanks!

Thanks Rich! I designed this thing to test my HBP settings on my T-O-M. I was getting poor quality on overhanging sections of parts near the surface of the HBP. This object allowed me to test different setting to achieve better print quality.
