Retraction test

Design Concepts

This model is designed to evaluate and calibrate the retraction settings of a 3D printer. The simple geometry of two vertical posts allows users to focus specifically on stringing errors and adjustments needed.

Uses

Primarily used by makers and printing enthusiasts to tweak their 3D printer settings. This model helps in minimizing stringing and optimizing the print quality by adjusting the retraction distance and speed.

Printing Suggestions

Use a standard layer height (e.g., 0.2mm) and recommended filament temperature settings as per your manufacturer’s guidelines. Start with the stock retraction settings and make incremental changes to find the optimal configuration for your printer.

Assembly Instructions

No assembly required. Simply print and assess the quality based on covered areas for any stringing.
