Anyone used a Califlower or Calilatern for calibration?

I think I may have a x/y calibration issue and was looking at calibration tools. I don’t think the Calilatern works for Bambu printers. From what I have gathered, Bambu can’t correct in the Z plane so maybe just need the Califlower?
I haven’t been able to get an answer from the creator.

Hi @user_3445597269

Welcome to the forum.

There is an old, but extensive discussion regarding the X1C accuracy and calibration, which may be helpful even if for a different printer: Dimensionally Inaccurate Parts Being Produced by X1C

Als,o a more recent one on the topic for the H2D: Did the high precision calibrations make a difference?

It doesn’t support z skew, but it’s highly unlikely to have a measurable difference with z skew calibration anyway. Z shrinkage is often non linear (meaning that it has too many dependency on things other than z height of the part itself).

My printer was dead on accurate out of the box!
Are you certain you have a calibration problem.
That file you are trying to print looks like a waste of time!

Up to now, I didn’t have the need to calibrate z.

As an alternative to the califlower, that uses far less material, this is my own version including instructions:

I have printed it once with most materials I use.

You also might want to investigate if your printer has skew in the X-Y plane. CoreXY printers are especially prone to it. I have left that out of my model, because you need to do that only once, but you want to calibrate shrinking often.
The calilantern you already printed should be perfect for that.

There is a very long thread on how to compensate skew. I don’t have it at hand, but if you find the need for it, me or someone else can certainly point it out to you.

There’s an interesting visualiser with the newest beta firmware that allows to show calibration results from vision encoder

What is that and how can I get it to work? Would like to see those calibration results

buy the vision encoder plate, do the calibration on newest beta firmware, it’s that easy
