Collapsing Clearance Test Print
This print is used to gauge your success when printings a print-in-place collapsing sword or lightsaber. Each ring has a different amount of clearance. How many rings are free after printing will tell you what clearance your printer is capable of. The rings should easily fall out and not be attached with any stringing.
I design the blades with .5mm of clearance. If your printer can print a clearance of .5mm, or better yet .4mm, you should have a very high rate of success. I was able to clear .4mm with my standard settings but got down to .25 with more some aggressive settings. It causes some under extrusion as the layer seams so I will probably will keep my original profile.
Center Ring 1= 1mm Clearance
Ring 2= .75mm Clearance
Ring 3= .5 mm Clearance
Ring 4=. 4 mm Clearance
Outer Ring 5= .25 mm Clearance
