What is test print?
A test print is a low-resolution, quick test to determine if a 3D printer is properly calibrated and producing accurate prints. A test print is often used to check the first layer of a print for problems like warping or poor adhesion.
Creality CR-10 Test Print
I decided to do a quick test print on my Creality CR-10 3D printer to see how it was performing. I used the included Micro Swiss MK10 0.4mm nozzle and printed at a resolution of 100 microns. The results were pretty good, with no major problems detected on the first layer.
There was some slight warping on the edges of the part, but this is to be expected with ABS filament on a 3D printer with a heated bed. Overall, I was happy with the results of the test print.
Why print test is necessary?
A print test is necessary to ensure that your 3D printer is properly calibrated and producing accurate prints. A bad test print can indicate a calibration issue that needs to be corrected before printing a real part. A good test print will help to ensure that your prints are coming out correctly and without any major problems.
What is the function of test print in Creality CR-10?
The function of the test print in the Creality CR-10 is to quickly check the printer for any calibration issues or problems with the first layer.
The results of a good test print will be a low-resolution part that is properly calibrated and has good adhesion to the print bed. A bad test print will show signs of warping, poor adhesion, or other calibration issues.
Types of print test which are used in Creality CR-10:
The two most common types of test prints used in the Creality CR-10 are the micro swiss mk10 0.4mm nozzle print and the 100 micron resolution print. These two prints are used to quickly check the printer for any calibration issues or problems with the first layer.
The results of a good test print will be a low-resolution part that is properly calibrated and has good adhesion to the print bed. A bad test print will show signs of warping, poor adhesion, or other calibration issues.
How to do a test print on Creality CR-10?
1. Choose your model or object to be printed
2. Select “Print Test” from the list options
3. Change the resolution to 100 microns
4. Change the nozzle to MK10 0.4mm
5. Click “Print”
6. Wait for the print to complete and examine the results
7. Repeat as necessary until you are satisfied with the results
What to look for in a good test print?
When looking at a good test print, you should see a low-resolution part that is properly calibrated and has good adhesion to the print bed. There should be no warping or poor adhesion on the first layer. The part should be printed with the correct dimensions and tolerances.
What to look for in a bad test print?
A bad test print will show signs of warping, poor adhesion, or other calibration issues. Warping can be caused by insufficient cooling of the filament or by using an inadequate build plate surface.
Poor adhesion can be caused by an incorrect build plate temperature or by using an inappropriate build plate material. Other calibration issues can include filament misalignment, incorrect nozzle height, or incorrect bed leveling.
Mechanism of print test:
The mechanism of print test is to quickly check the printer for any calibration issues or problems with the first layer. The results of a good test print will be a low-resolution part that is properly calibrated and has good adhesion to the print bed. A bad test print will show signs of warping, poor adhesion, or other calibration issues.
Importance of print test:
The importance of print test cannot be overemphasized as it helps in calibrating 3D printer for accurate prints. A bad test print can indicate a calibration issue that needs to be corrected before printing a real part. A good test print will help to ensure that your prints are coming out correctly and without any major problems.
