Description
For all those makers out there that dig 3D printing we created this iDig3Dprinting plaque, a nice and quick test piece to put your printer through it’s paces.
It measures 60mm x 60mm x 7mm so it is a good size to test the flatness of your bed and bed adherence. The lettering will give you a good idea of how well your printer copes with feature detail, in the xy plane.
If you scale it up you may be able to use it as a coaster or though we are not too sure how stable it would be, otherwise you can just stick it up on your wall, show everyone you are a maker!
We created the model by importing our logo as a .SVG file into Freecad, the techniques used are the same as in our guide on creating a 20mm 3D printer calibration cube in Freecad. The results that you see here we tested and printed using a Prusa i3 loaded with 3Dom filaments Ingeo PLA.
How to calibrate your Steps per mm on your 3D printers axes
You can calibrate your printers steps per min for the different axes by:
e = expected dimension (y = 60mm, x = 60mm & z = 7mm )
o = observed dimension
s1 = current steps per mm
s2 = new steps per mm
so that
s2 = s1 x (e/0)

Returns & Refunds
Firstly, if you want to return a product or you have a faulty product please get in touch as soon as possible!
To prevent ordering incorrect items, if you are unsure just ask and we can offer some guidance. However, bear in mind that we cannot say whether a particular product will be right for the purpose that you intend to use it for.
You can return your goods to iDig3Dprinting for any reason within 14 business days following receipt at your delivery address as long as they are in a re-saleable condition.
Filaments & resins cannot be returned once opened as once exposed to air these items perish.
Downloadable goods and 3D print samples cannot be returned and no refund will be issued.
Shipping costs of returned items are paid by the customer
A full refund will be issued for unopened items that are returned in their original packaging that are in a "as new" re-saleable condition minus additional costs that are incurred by iDig3Dprinting like payment processing fees, custom duties or charges.
We are afraid we cannot issue refunds for products that have been defaced, altered, used, or damaged in any way. All requests for refunds are subject to inspection by iDig3DPrinting of the returned item. We are not a charity or a lending library.
Refunds and returns for faulty items works a bit differently. Faulty goods can be accepted for return upto 60 days from receipt of the goods (However we prefer to offer diagnostics and repair solutions prior to an actual return, its better for the environment). After this time you will need to contact the Manufacturer. A repair or replacement will be issued for faulty goods once they have passed inspection and been found by iDig3Dprinting to be faulty.
This is a brief account of our returns policy. For the full terms please see our Terms and conditions page. Content on the Terms and Conditions page supersedes this content.
How to raise a return request
The main thing is please communicate with us. We are not omnipotent!
We can be quite flexible but this is built upon a foundation of mutual respect between our customers and iDig3Dprinting.
