Ghosting, loose axes, poor layer adhesion, and cooling problems can all be easily identified and remedied using a quick Rockey print! By changing the resolution, scale, and speed of this print, you can fine tune your printer to reduce the effects of these issues. From a 9 minute print at .3mm resolution to test layer adhesion to a longer one-hour print to visualize vibrations, Rockey is the benchmark for diagnosing these problems with ease!
Or just print it for fun as a cool model :)

Resolution: .15mm-.1mm for ghosting and vibration tuning, or .2mm-.3mm for testing cooling and layer adhesion.

Another handy feature is the smiley face on the bottom of the rocket. Use this to calibrate fine details on first layers.
Conclusion:
I hope your Rockey prints help identify and fix these common problems with your printer in a quick and easy fashion. I would love to hear your feedback on if this design helped and how I can improve it. Enjoy!
