The calibration sheet is made for printing at 100% on A4 paper. Makes sense since Ultimaker is a Dutch company. 

 

US standard printer paper is 8.5 inches x 11 inches while A4 is 8.27 x 11.69 inches.  So printing at 100% on my paper can result in an inaccurate calibration sheet.

 

Can someone measure the dimensions of the rectangles in the calibration sheet and share that info?

Then I can compare and make sure my printout will work?

 

 

I suggest to the Ultimaker team that they also include a graphic of a box of a known size (maybe 20 or 30 mm) that we can measure to see if our print is exact enough or not.

    100% should be 100%, no matter what paper you print on. It is not "100% of the width of the available paper", but "not scaled to the paper". Make sure not to enable any "fit to paper" (or ssimilar) settings. Just 100%.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
