Ultimate Support Calibration Tool (Top/Bottom Z)

Hi! This is my Ultimate Support Calibration Tool 

It’s designed to test everything you could possibly need when dialing in your support settings:

• Top Z Distance
• Bottom Z Distance
• Round surfaces
• Bridges
• Printing directly on supports
• Slopes
• Partial support contact

Included Support Settings

These are my go-to settings for reliable results:

• 4 interface layers
• Rectilinear top interface pattern

What’s Included

You get three different setup options:

1. Full Test Plate
   Interface spacing ranges from 0.02 to 0.4 for quick comparison.
2. Single Test Model
   A clean version without variations
3. Interface Material Version
   Designed for use with support interface material at 0.0 distance.

How to Use

I recommend starting with values between 0.1 and 0.3, as these tend to work best in most cases.

After printing:

• Remove the supports from each test
• Check how easy they are to remove
• Inspect the surface quality of the interface

You’ll notice there are two types of supports:

• Supports that prevent printlines from drooping
• Supports that you print directly on top of

The second type is usually the tricky one and that’s exactly what this tool helps you fine-tune.

I’ll also be adding separate test models for individual scenarios, so you can test specific cases while saving both time and material.
