Model information
Description
Low-thickness technical part designed to quickly and comparably check how the first layer is deposited in different areas of the print bed. The matrix allows for observing variations in squish, line continuity, and adhesion without consuming much material, making it useful after leveling the bed, adjusting the Z offset, changing the print surface, or modifying the slicer profile. Each sample must be interpreted as a visual reference: separated lines usually indicate excessive height; a very squashed, rough, or translucent surface may indicate a nozzle that is too close. The model does not automatically correct mechanical problems, dirt, bed deformation, or poorly calibrated flow.

This is a Calibration Matrix for the Prusa Mini to calibrate the first layer. It consists of 15x15mm squares that are 0.2mm tall.
The Squares are layed out into a 4x4 Matrix and are printed sequentially starting form the front on the right.
You can create the G-Code for the Filament that you want to calibrate and start the print. Using the external perimeter you can start to do the rough calibration with the Live-Z tuning option.
Then you can adjust the Live-Z values while it prints the individual squares and check that square visually and with your finger after it starts to print the next one.
