			The IIIP was moved briefly during a time when MAG Laboratory was lent a Form 1 in hopes that the Form 1 could be fixed. Because of this, it was decided that the printer would be due for a delta test print. The operator at the same time wanted to try a new test print, the [https://www.printables.com/model/275910-yacs-yet-another-calibration-square YACS]. The desire to print the YACS was further enforced by relative skews noticed while the printer was used to make another filament drybox.

			Upon printing the XY skew print, the operator did not notice any differences. The measurements were as follows:

			* AB = 141.10 mm
			* BD = 141.10 mm

			However, the XZ test showed at least 3mm of positive skew. Since the bottom of the print was not designed for exact measurements like the print on the XY print was, no sub-millimeter measurements are provided in this text. After this print, the Z axes were checked and these checks revealed that the left side Y axis was not secured. Note that the left axis refers to the operator's left and not the printer's.

			The operator secured the left side Y axis motor grub screw and re-leveled the X carriage and print bed. The next XZ axis print revealed no abnormalities and no desired corrections to be applied.

			The YZ test completed without note. Although the print did get smaller in size as the print layers increased, a millimeter or less difference was observed which does not constitute reason for applying a print offset or examining the Y axis hardware.

			Although there are already three other test prints that are used by MAG Laboratory, a third test print could be beneficial to operational success.

			The way the filament in the dry box is dispensed into the 3d printer seems problematic since there can be high bending stress placed on the filament at the opening of the direct drive extruder. The operator has temporarily solved this with a crude arrangement utilizing available materials to space the dry box above another dry box.

			Additionally, the extrusion steps per millimeter multiplier was not calibrated with the 3d printer. This has been remedied. It is set at 97 steps / mm at the time of this note.

			The initial layer extrusion needs a slightly higher flow ratio for better initial layer adhesion; this can be applied in Cura.

			=== Part Cooling ===
			The maximum fan speed is recommended at 40%. A lower fan speed (20%) should be used during normal printing.

			=== Print Speed ===
			The maximum print speed of 50mm/s is recommended. Faster printing causes uncomfortable rattling.
