Customizable Curved Overhang Tester

Customizable Curved Overhang Tester

This is a unique take on an overhang tester with a fresh look. See how well your printer and filament can handle thin materials in overhanging positions. Inspect both print quality and how each curve aligns with the backing. I've included images of a 40mm version printed on an Ultimaker 3 using PLA and standard Cura settings. You'll notice typical results for this type of test: a smooth top surface masking the chaos that unfolds underneath as the overhang exceeds the 45-degree threshold. With thin curves like these, errors arise from at least two sources: the usual sagging of unsupported material at each layer's edge, and slight mismatches caused by the nozzle tip pushing the curves slightly back and forth. Feedback is greatly appreciated.
