Resolution test, kind of

thingiverse

This is a test of resolution, but not really a test of resolution. Resolution is a complex concept. However, this test reveals whether or not a printer can accurately respond to minute details and display them in some way, or if they will become lost. One side of the object has an indentation ranging from 0.025mm to 0.1mm in 0.025mm increments (a total of four steps). The opposite side features extrusions with the same range and incrementation, plus four narrow bars that protrude from 0.025mm to 0.1mm. Print this object and examine its sides to see what level of detail is visible. I achieved a visibility of 0.1mm and 0.075mm but was unable to detect 0.05mm or 0.025mm with complete accuracy. I utilize a Y-bed style printer equipped with 16 microsteps per revolution, along with a 16-tooth pulley (resulting in 100 microsteps per millimeter). To conduct this test effectively, rotate the object so that the testing indents are perpendicular to the tested axis. Position the triangles at the bottom of the object.
