Orca Flow Test-32mm miniature base version.

Model Overview & Print Notes

Fed up making useless rectangular blocks when performing flow calibration tests in Orca? This file uses logic from Orca's flow calibration tests. Instead of getting useless blocks you will get 11 32mm bases for your miniatures. This follows Orca logic as closely as possible within the limits of a .3mf file and you calibrate by looking at the top surface of the bases in the same way. Setup for the most common nozzle size - 0.4 though other nozzles will probably give good enough results. Please leave some feedback after printing. (different nozzle sizes may scale the height of the base) Numbers are attached to the base via a very small area, they snap off and are easily cleaned up. Please be aware; This file is printer agnostic, various settings will be taken from the profile and machine you have imported the file for. This means you will get a message on import " The 3mf file was generated by an older version, loading geometry data only" This warning is generated because I've made the file compatible with all printers. Object settings and data will still be loaded. If you re-save the project then the selected printers setting will populate the file and you will lose the 'universal' aspect of the test. The bed size required is 135x125mm if you use a smaller printer, you will need to  move objects to another plate. Base 0 takes the original flow setting in the slicer (filament default is 0.98 usually) and other bases are +/- of that value, I think this way is better as it allows you to run the test multiple times allowing for precise dial-in and minimises variations caused by external factors.  If you are unsure how to read this test, please refer to the Orca Slicer calibration wiki; https://www.orcaslicer.com/wiki/calibration/flow_ratio_calib.html
