{"product_id":"hueforge-td-step-test-and-light-box","title":"HueForge TD Step Test and Light Box","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile this step test still provides valid testing data, it can be difficult to properly interpret. If you want a way to quickly test for TD that takes all the guess work out, consider the TD-1. The TD-1 was developed with the support of HueForge and directly interfaces with the software for quickly testing and adding filaments to your library.

The last step before the final dimming, is your calculated TD value. If all the steps are bright, print and insert a TD_Step_Test_Plus_4 of the same filament under the step test block and check again. This block adds 4 to the number on the top of the box. If adding one TD_Step_Test_Plus_4 block is still not enough, keep adding additional TD_Step_Test_Plus_4 blocks till the steps begin to dim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have also designed some Gridfinity storage bin that these snap into for convenient storage options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBins - \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer ugc\" href=\"https:\/\/makerworld.com\/en\/models\/116899#profileId-125675\"\u003ehttps:\/\/makerworld.com\/en\/models\/116899#profileId-125675\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x5 Box - \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer ugc\" href=\"https:\/\/makerworld.com\/en\/models\/116933#profileId-125716\"\u003ehttps:\/\/makerworld.com\/en\/models\/116933#profileId-125716\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3x4 Box - \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer ugc\" href=\"https:\/\/makerworld.com\/en\/models\/116926#profileId-125709\"\u003ehttps:\/\/makerworld.com\/en\/models\/116926#profileId-125709\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign by AJAX3D on MakerWorld (license: BY).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mymadmanlab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67400325726512,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0809\/5280\/files\/0_d010b6f2-77e3-4b2f-8e05-bc206ec3a1ff.png?v=1784939257","url":"https:\/\/mymadmanlab.com\/products\/hueforge-td-step-test-and-light-box","provider":"Mymadmanlab.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
