Vertical Test Piece 3D Printer test

Testing to see if the 3D printer prints vertical.

Perpendicular 90° 3D printer testing.

On some of tallish 3D prints where about 5mm off true over about 150mm high.

This is not due to layers shifting but most likely a mechanical issue e.g. 3D frame not totally in line, etc.

The resting pads, (to place a square onto for checking), separately so the can be positioned at a place convenient to you.

The longer version has longer parts to rest a square onto. This longer also has some tabs on the back side to help keep it stable while checking.

Vertical 3D Printer fixing shows issue and the fix for not 3D printing vertically, short playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUqt0sTiXUDcyflguLAZVgdNtkNRTOtze

The fix:-

Vertical 3D Printer Straighten. Was out of true now fixed https://youtu.be/YX-PbJp_7Us

M556: Axis compensation available in RepRapFirmware but I use Marlin, for Marlin see:- https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/issues/3014 https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/issues/5116

Print Settings

Notes:

I printed a layer height of 0.3 to reduce printing time and it was better than I expected.
