Fully Customizable XYZ Calibrator that prints super fast, uses less material, etc.
provided gcode is sliced for Ender 3 (0.4mm nozzle) PLA, but should work well enough for other printers.
You can use OpenSCAD and slicer of choice to generate a gcode that better suits your machine.
Print Time
---------------------
20mm calibration cube:
> 50 minutes → 5 minutes
100mm xyz axes:
> 100–200 minutes → 16 minutes
Print Settings
---------------------
Enable ironing for only the top layer
Enable thin walls
Set layer heights as high as you can(probably about 3[.](https://dyzedesign.com/2018/07/3d-print-speed-calculation-find-optimal-speed/)9mm)
No supports, skirts or brims
Wait for it to be cooled down before peeling off to prevent bending. Works best with magnetic beds.
