Yet another overhang test part
Posted: Sun Apr 10, 2016 3:41 pm
I know there's already a bunch of different overhang tests, but I hadn't seen one that suited me, so I made yet another.
This part goes from 40 degrees to 80 on a single surface in a simple, compact part.
(updated - I made the numbers larger so they'll show in thicker layer builds and flipped them over so they are viewed from the outside of the part)
(updated again - I printed the first version in PETG with a .5mm nozzle, and the 70 deg overhang did not fail. Changing the part to cover 40-80 - it needs to be a little bigger to accommodate that range plus I increased the depth of the overhang just to make it a tougher test)
