This 3D printed calibration cube is a small, standardized model used to test and fine-tune 3D printers. Typically, it is a simple 23mm x 23mm x 23mm cube with precise dimensions that are meant to be printed with a 3D printer. The primary purpose of the calibration cube is to assess the accuracy and precision of the printer's movement and layer printing.

By printing a calibration cube, users can check whether the printer is creating objects with correct dimensions, ensuring that each side of the cube measures exactly 23mm. If there are discrepancies, it may indicate issues like incorrect steps per millimeter for the printer's motors or problems with the extrusion process. Additionally, users can evaluate print quality, including layer adhesion, surface smoothness, and dimensional accuracy.

Calibration cubes can also be used to check for other printer settings, such as temperature, filament extrusion rates, and the alignment of the print bed. They are often one of the first models printed when setting up a new printer or making adjustments to improve performance.
