This is my idea calibration cube. I always use it to parameterize new settings.
Printing time is 15-20 minutes at 58 mm/s and 0.16 mm layer thickness.
The nozzle has a dimension of 0.4mm.
Most often in my practice I check horizontal dimensions and hole sizes for very accurate prints. On this basis, I change the filament flow settings and additionally the setting in Cura - "Horizontal Expansion". This helps to choose the right size and at the same time the quality of the details helps to set the print temperature.

The Horizontal Expansion setting will allow you to adjust the size of your 3D print in the X/Y dimension to compensate for the change in size that happens when the plastic shrinks as it cools. The ability to control the horizontal expansion is important when you're working with precise sizes.
