Additive manufacturing (AM) is the industrial production name for 3D printing, a computer-controlled process that creates three-dimensional objects by depositing materials, usually in layers.
Research the different types of calibration cubes on Thingiverse and Printables. Then design your own cube to test the limitations of your printer.
Create a 20mm X 20mm cube
3D model a roller chain link of your own design and print a series of five links without print supports. When completed, the link should move as a roller-type chain.
An individual link cannot take up more space than 20mm²
Test prints (no more than two links) are required before full prints (no more than 5 links)
No slicer-generated supports allowed
