Standard V Slot, but without the parallel hole to make it stronger. Also great for testing your settings and 3D printer's z axis behavior. This thing was made with Tinkercad.

Lesson Plan and Activity Test slicer settings Try to set the layer height to its maximum, then check if it breaks easily. If so, increase the flow rate or lower the layer height slightly. Check Z axis behavior Verify that all layers are equal. If not, inspect the z axis for scratches or uneven parts. Are the stepper motors strong enough? Check Mechanical precision Attempt to fit a V Slot nut. They should fit perfectly from both sides. Test filament strength Do the corners bend? Does the beam bend? Does the beam break easily?
