Looking for a new test object to run your printer through it's paces? try this Cretaceous-era cube featuring the Jayhawk’s great-great-great ancestor from back when Mount Oread would’ve been beachfront property, around 70 million years ago. Ok, technically pterosaurs are on a different branch of the archosaur family tree than modern birds, but Pteranodon geosternbergia (One of two currently recognized species of Pteranodon, the other being logiceps) was dominating the skies of Kansas millions of years before the first ‘Rock Chalk!’ was uttered. Also, pterosaurs just happen to have the correct foot anatomy for a nice pair of shoes (if we consider clown shoes ‘nice’ anyways). Like any good test object, Jay-o-sternbergia has been designed to ‘stress test’ a printer to check for key quality benchmarks, such as the ability to reproduce fine surface details and print overhangs of varying steepness.
