Minimum Viable Feature Test Probe

thingiverse

Human: Determine which features will print sufficiently to be a functional part of a mechanical print. A Minimum Viable Feature is more than just what will make it through your slicer and onto the bed of your machine, although that's an interesting fact. Minimum Viable Features are the smallest things that are actually useful and practical. Solid modeling can be deceptive at times - it's easy to lose track of the scale and size you're working with. Run this test part, decide the threshold of usefulness by size or angle of each of the different features. Then bake those into your design process as the minimums that you'll use. This test part includes a slot, wall and cylindrical pin in various sizes from 0.1 to 2.0mm in 0.1mm steps. It also includes overhangs from 70deg to 25deg from horizontal, in 5 degree increments.
