The TD strip card is a tool used in 3D printing to measure the mixing distance or transmission distance of consumables. It helps to evaluate the degree of color mixing during the printing process or the extent to which consumables transition between colors.

Key features:

• Indicates a transmission distance range of 0 - 16 millimeters
• It's easy to observe the mixed stripes
• It has a compact size and a hole, making it easy to store and organize
• The card includes the brand, material, and color name of the consumables, as well as a strip used to record additional information, such as the obtained TD value and color code
• There are white or black bases available for selection, which form a contrast with the color to be tested

Specifications:

• Size:84 x 30 millimeters.
• Thickness:The base is 1.6 mm thick. The total thickness is 3.2 mm.
• TD range:0 - 16 millimeters.

How to use it:

1. Select Consumable 1 as the background color, and select Consumable 2 as the color to be tested.

   

2. Edit the object text as needed, including the brand, type, and color name of the consumables to be tested.

   

3. Print the TD stripe card.
4. Select the last strip, where the numbers under the strip are clearly visible.

5. Multiply the selected number by 0.8 to obtain the transmission distance.

    

   

   For example 1. The actual visible stripe on this TD stripe card is the 7th stripe. Therefore, 0.8 x 7 = a transmission distance of 5.6 mm.

   

   For example, 2. This is obviously the first stripe. Therefore, 0.8 x 1 = a transmission distance of 0.8 millimeters.

Note:The transmission distance of this TD stripe card is just an approximation. Based on my experience, choosing +- 1 stripes won't make much difference to the results.

Note 2:Each strip contains only one letter, so from the top left corner to the bottom left corner, the numbers from 1 to 20 are 1>2>…>8>9>0>1>2>…>9>0.
