3D Printer Benchmark

🧩 COMPONENTS OF THE BENCHMARK – ACCURATE EXPLANATION

📍 THE SPIKES

Vertical needles that test whether the printer can print VERY small details.
✔ If they remain straight and sharp = stable printer
❌ If they bend or become rounded = vibration or precision problem

📐 THE ANGLED OVERHANGS

First overhang: 5°, 15°, 25°, 35°, 45°, 55°, 65°, 75°
Second overhang: 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°

They test how well the filament can hold its shape without supports at different angles.
➡ When an overhang starts to collapse or ripple = that is the limit of your printer
✨ If it stays perfect = the printer can go even further

⚙️ THE FOUR CALIBRATABLE FEET

These are the parts you can rotate labeled 0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.1.
They test the printer’s tolerance.

✔ If a foot does NOT move = the printer is precise at that level
❌ If it moves easily = it cannot reach that level of precision

📏 THE SMALL CYLINDERS AND THE LABELS

The labels (20.5, 15.5, 10.5, 5.5) indicate the intended size of the cylinders.

✔ If the cylinder matches the exact size = dimensional accuracy is correct
❌ If it is larger or smaller = calibration issue
