Calibration Shapes

This plugin adds a menu to create some simple shapes to the scene (cube, cylinder, tube) used most of the time to create some fast test parts and common calibration/test parts. The default size for all the simple shapes is 20 mm, but can be modified via the Define default size menu.

Calibration part

You can also load standard test / calibration part :

• Calibration Cube XYZ
• PLA TempTower 220 - 180°C
• ABS TempTower 250 - 210°C
• PETG TempTower 260 - 230°C
• Retract Tower
• Junction Deviation Tower
• Retract Test part
• Bridge Spiral test
• Thin Wall Test
• Overhang Test
• Flow Test
• Hole Test
• Linear/Pressure Adv Tower
• Tolerance Test
• MultiCube Test

Bed Level : For this part the initial design is scaled to the bed size

• Bed Level Calibration

Multi-Extruder Calibration part

• Cube bi-color
• Extruder Offset Calibration

All the parts have been designed via OpenSCAD. OpenSCAD can be downloaded here

Define default size

The function Define default size gives you the possibility to change the default size for the standard primitives (cube/cylinder/tube).

This plugin is using the Trimesh library to create simple shapes and to load STL files.

Cura-Postprocessing-Scripts

Several postprocessing Scripts are included into the plugin to help the user to generate automaticaly the differents Towers.

• RetractTower.py
• SpeedTower.py
• TempFanTower.py

Copy Scripts

These scripts can be copied into the scripts directory via the function Copy Scripts.

After you have copied these scripts, you must restart Cura to see the scripts in the postprocessing scripts list.

Tower generation scripts

After the restart the scripts must be visible in the Postprocessing scripts list.

SpeedTower.py

• Temp Tower PLA de 220 à 180
• Possibility to define also a Fan Tower , Fan percentage speed indicate with semi-colon as seprator

RetractTower.py

Description: postprocessing-script to easily create a Retract Tower

The default values are for this Retract Tower model : Retract Tower

Two options :

- Speed   :  Speed variation

- Retract :  Distance retract variation
