Hey All,

I want to issue a challenge to anyone interested. I've been testing some slicers and using the famous 3ds Max teapot. I realized that it's a great torture test model. It has a lot of tricky areas. So, I'm issuing a test. I'd like to see who can make the best print of the model. It's exactly 100mm long so it's not too big or too small for a fair test. It has 30K tris, so it's not tiny, but not overly huge.

One of the trickiest parts I've found is the knob on the top of the lid. Without two fans going on it mine comes out all melted and distorted.

So if anyone is up to it, here's the model. Let's see what slicer and techniques make the best print. I thought this might be a good way to find that perfect printing software and setting.
