This model is a single-layer spiral-square path designed for advanced bed alignment and extrusion tuning across the entire build surface.
The nozzle follows a continuous spiral of nested squares until reaching the center, minimizing retractions and creating uninterrupted extrusion lines. This makes the model highly effective for detecting and correcting:
Bed leveling inconsistencies across large surfaces
First-layer adhesion issues (edges vs. center)
Flow stability and extrusion calibration over long paths
Z-offset or nozzle height fine-tuning
Model specifications:
- Outer size: 200 × 200 mm
- Step inward: 5 mm per loop
- Height: 0.2 mm (single layer)
- Track width: 0.6 mm (match slicer line width for accuracy)
Recommended slicing settings:
- Layer height: 0.20 mm
- Perimeters: 1
- Top/Bottom layers: 0
- Infill: 0%

This pattern is especially useful for advanced bed alignment tuning, ensuring both edges and the center of the build plate are correctly leveled and bonded.
