3D model description

This is a set of simple square single-layer chips for testing bed levelling.

The customizable OpenSCAD file allows setting the size of the sides, the gap between chips, the thickness, and the repetitions on a grid.

Per the instructions at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3685657
and https://www.matterhackers.com/articles/3d-printing-essentials-first-layer you can use this to diagnose your first layer height.

A single 20x20x0.2mm chip should take about 2 minutes to print, and a plate of 9 would take correspondingly longer.

Try to get your printer to print a single-layer chip with accurate dimensions and quality by adjusting your bed leveling, Z-offset, first layer settings, extrusion multiplier, etc....

The OpenSCAD code basically wraps the cube() module in a nested for loop:

````

module mesh_of_squares(){
for (i = [0:reps-1]){
translate([(side_mm+gap_mm) * i, 0, 0])
for (j = [0:reps-1]){
translate([0,(side_mm+gap_mm) * j, 0])
cube(size = [side_mm,side_mm,thickness_mm], center = false);
}
}
}
````
