Interval Test

Sweep scan interval (line spacing) at fixed power/speed. Find the tightest interval that still produces clean fill.

The Interval Test draws filled cells at a range of scan intervals (line spacings). Use it to find the smallest interval that produces a solid fill without wasting time on overlap.

When it opens

Menu: Machine → Quality Tests → Interval Test. Opens inside the Quality Test Shell.

Workflow

  1. Pick or set up a material preset.
  2. Set the sweep range. Default is a narrow sweep around the preset; widen if you want to explore.
  3. Preview to verify cell layout.
  4. Run.
  5. Inspect cells, the tightest interval that still looks solid is your target.
  6. Save the interval to your material preset in the Material Library.
