This is a hard to print testfile!
often you don't know if your printer is ready for complex files. with this file you have an easy option to check problematic printing/slicing stuff.

does your printer challenge this ultimative part?
check it out and get (almost) instant results.

these test are included in this tiny file:

  • size: the object is 4x50x50mm (baseplate)
  • hole size: 3 holes (3/4/5mm)
  • Nut size: M4 Nut should fit perfectly
  • fine details: pyramide, cone, all numbers
  • rounded print: wave, half sphere
  • minimum distance between walls: 0.1/0.2/0.3/0.4/0.5mm
  • overhang: 25°/30°/35°/40°/45°
  • bridge print: 2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9mm
  • surface: all the flat parts

there could be a lot of things go wrong, here the most common ones

  • your printbed is not leveled (should be better than layerheigth you're printing, e.g use a Micrometre)
  • your axis (Y/X/Z) clearence (with higher speed you also get problems with the moving mass)
  • your slicer and configuration (every slicer handles things different and could contain bugs)
  • retract settings (not correctly set you will see blobs or holes on every retract position)
  • to high temperature (small details will get overheated)
  • to reach this time, your printer should run between 60-200mm/s, infill as fast as possible. not every printer works in this range, so try to figure out where you're printer limit is.
  • text is hard to read > use a smaller nozzle/other slicer
