About this print
A compact calibration tower used to find the optimal printing temperature for a given filament. Each 10mm floor corresponds to a different temperature setting, allowing direct comparison of how temperature affects print quality. The tower includes sections to assess overhangs, bridge spanning, stringing and curved surfaces all in a single run. PLA is commonly used for temperature towers, as it responds visibly to temperature changes and makes differences between floors straightforward to compare.

Yet another temperature calibration tower. It suppose to be smart, compact and fulfill several purposes.
* it is functioning as a regular temperature tower
* it contains several test patterns like
* **overhangs** from 60 deg to 25 deg
* **bridges** from 15 mm - 30 mm
* **stringing** test
* **curvy** shapes
One floor is exactly *10 mm* and stand is *1.4 mm*. Optimized for *0.2 mm* layer height.
**Note:** STEP models have been added of a plain floor, 000 Floor and the stand.
**Updates:**
* **21-Dec-2021 -** Added link to tutorial videos
* **10-Jun-2019 -** Added single line script
* **19-Apr-2019 -** Added scrips for PETG and PLA_Plus and a screen shot of the script setup
