Measure and calibrate


 

#3DBenchy_page_measure_main_image

Use #3DBenchy to test and calibrate your 3D printer by adjusting hardware and software settings for optimal results.

The shape and size of this 3D model is designed to challenge 3D printers. Compare your #3DBenchy results with the dimensions illustrated below. These are easy to measure with a caliper.

Print and check your 3D-printer’s result for dimensional accuracy, tolerances, warping and deviations related to changes in printing parameters and material types.

Regardless of how well #3DBenchy 3D-prints on a certain 3D printer, it is a valuable tool for comparing results between several different 3D printers, assuming that similar print settings where used.
