3dhacker printer test

See http://joesmakerbot.blogspot.com/2013/06/creating-test-print-object.html for more information. See the annotated picture for details: A. The organic area looks impressive and showcases your printer's ability to print intricate details like this. B. Each of the 3 arms extends at a different angle to test overhang, with the top one reaching 60 degrees - a challenge even some well-calibrated machines struggle with. The middle arm is at 45 degrees, still manageable for most printers, while the bottom one reaches 70 degrees - a feat that's more likely to fail. C. The D tests arches, and this particular test is likely to fail due to its size. However, it's interesting to see how far your printer can get before giving up. D. The H tests bridging, pushing the limits of what your 3D printer can handle. E. Each letter in "3DHacker.com" is carefully designed to be the minimum safe size for text and 0.1mm larger than its neighbor, testing relief and raised printing detail. If you're using layer heights below 0.1mm, it's possible that the letters may not show up clearly due to gaps developing around the sunken areas. F. The 3 spikes behind the H should be as tall as the H itself, but this test is designed to fail and instead showcases how fine your printer can print details before they're lost in translation. G. The main body and secondary block are connected by a filament diameter tester - if your filament is too thin, they won't mate properly, while too thick and they'll come apart. H. When mated, relief lettering on the bottom of the print demonstrates how well this can work, as well as the potential issues with shells causing problems for this feature. I. On the top side of the second half, the top wall features vertical holes in various shapes - triangles, squares, and circles. J. In the middle is a shape designed to demonstrate how thin and flat organic shapes can turn out when printed horizontally, like the legs of an octopus or a tail. This part may not be fixable simply by adjusting settings. K. The bottom wall is a fail test where the wall becomes increasingly thinner until it's too thin to print - but at what point will your 3D printer give up?
