Hi,
I recently ran into an issue with a print that neared the Z-axis limit. Like a moron, I did not take a video for the support ticket. I have since reset all settings and run all the diagnostics which all have checked out okay.
I’m looking for a print that prints at/near to all 3 axis limits as a test print. Kinda like a 3 dimensional “+” sign that does not use a metric ton of filament.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!

right click → add model → cube
scale cube to 1.6mm x 255mm x 255mm
copy paste it twice, now you have 3
rotate one flat on the plate, one standing up on X, one standing up on Y
To add lightness you could negative-part a big sphere in the middle but it might lose stability without something more mesh-like
donezo, good luck!
If you do have you heart set on the giant plus sign here’s one fresh from Fusion. It’s about 255.778 X 255.778 X 255.778. Just rename it to an .STL.
Big-Plus.3mf (2.2 KB)
Or within Bambu Studio you could just add a text shape ‘T’ key - and set it to X and make it really big.
Hah, i really like this text scale, clever
Traveling up 255Z is gonna take some filament, no matter what you do. You can’t just print a 0.4 wall and hope it doesnt fall over 
I wonder what it would look like in vase mode? - might be of some use if you print a few more letters the same size;)
Thanks for the suggestions all!!
What is considered " normal infil " for a print like this ?
ive come across 4% using gyroid , to save on filament
Vase mode seems like the way to go, tbh. Don’t waste time & material on infill.
What I would do is create a model in TinkerCAD. Make a sketch, fill the volume, clip a corner to avoid the exclusion zone, raise to your height target, then export the STL and print as a vase. Here’s an example:
I added notches to the sides to add rigidity:
raise to 250mm (or whatever your target is):
bring into Bambu Studio, enable vase mode, set bottom shell layers to 0 (in the Strength tab, not shown here), and add a small brim to keep it in place:
You also can modify the printer settings to ignore the exclusion zone, documented in the link above. (I didn’t bother because I am not actually going to print this test.)
This is huge, yeah, but it gets the print head near all edges, so if something is wrong at a specific spot you’ll probably be able to spot it. To be more thorough, disable the exclusion zone and don’t notch the corner.
If all you want to check are the corners, then maybe just make some 20x20 cubes, stick them at the corners, and make them as tall as needed.
