I needed an easy way to test my support settings when it comes to actually removing the supports from your prints. Especially when they are difficult to remove.

This test print is primarily for you to test the different values / results of your Top Z Distance setting in your Slicer Support Settings.

There are individual STL files that correspond to different values you can set or a Blank Option.

There is also a .3mf file with the values preset for you. You can simply swap to your printer profile and carry over the support values.

This model also works great for testing Grid, Snug, Organic & Tree Support options.

Here is the model in action and some of the wild results I was seeing by using different types of PLA

This model was designed in Shapr3D on my iPad
