The purpose of this item is to test your settings in the case of geometry with thin walls and irregular thickness. The part is designed to be printed with a 0.4 mm nozzle. The objective is to be able to refine yours settings to allow the realization of model which can present geometries with issues due to an inappropriate thicknesses.

The smallest wall width is 0.35 mm. It is therefore necessary to activate the option "Print Thin Walls" to be able to print this test.

Thickness of the 4 thin walls

  • 0.35 mm
  • 0.5 mm
  • 0.8 mm
  • 1 mm

Printing Conditions

 - Nozzle Size : 0.4
 - Layer Height : 0.2
 - Initial Layer Height : 0.2
 - Line Width : 0.4
 - Wall Line Count : 3
 - Top/Bottom Thickness : 0.8 mm
 - Fill Gaps Between Walls (Only for release of Cura previous to V5) : Everywhere
