    Test object?

    I am torn as to where to post this so I will start in the Filament&Materials and if a Mod moves it, so be it...

    So, I have a bunch of filament samples coming from GlobalFSD as well as samples I already have from MakerGeeks. So, does anyone have a good (small) test object that would be good to print to compare each type of filament on a level playing field (meaning same object, different material). Would need something that should require 2m or less of 3mm filament as the samples I have from MG are only 3m total.

    So, thoughts? Any ideas for a universal print that would show off advantages/weaknesses of a wide latitude of filaments (from Eco FlexPLA to TGlase to LayWood)?

    You can do it the 3D Hubs's way and print a marvin.

    You can do it the engineer's way and print traction sample tests.

    You can do it Gru's way and print minions !

    Why not print the names of the filaments ? I'm making workbench customizations at the moment and printing tool supports and stuff. At least It'd be useful.

    Rofl, I had to google up the reference to marvin

    Used the cityscape object. Has a cone, cylinder, torus and cube in a nice small postage stamp size print.
