Large print to check flatness

8" x 8"

Wanted to make a large print on my RepRap 3D Printer, before i make it i'm going to save allot of time by checking flatness and calibrating the printer so hopefully the part i make prints right the first time.

Its only one layer thick and two lines wide, it basically covers every part of the build plate.

This is the second calibration print, the first one barely stuck, so i went from 100% first layer width to 150% first layer width, and this print stuck way better, there is a slight high point in the center of the build plate and four low points in the corners, so i can only print to the correct thickness in the center of the build plate and then towards the edges the nozzle gap starts to increase causing the filament to not want to stick, so i found that increasing the first layer width to a higher % helps solve this problem, i'm using Simplify3D to adjust this setting.

This is my second blog and wanted to put more blogs to add more to the blog to get things started, so who knows whats next, 3D print stuff most likely
