PolyPearl Tower Torture Test (OpenSCAD Remix)

A great benchmark tool once you've got a million Benchys floating around. Experiment with different settings to get a good, clean print. Polymaker has published some suggested setting changes here. The recommended settings below are about as close as I could get without getting really deep into the weeds (better is definitely possible). Note that the model isn't an exact replica, but it's close enough for most people. If you want to include a reference overlay when editing the .scad file, you'll need to download PolyPearl_Tower.STL from the original model.

Recommended Print Settings

• 0.4mm nozzle
• 0.15mm layer height
• 10% infill
• 2 walls printed inside-to-outside
• No supports
• Print as oriented

Original Description

The PolyPearl Tower is Polymaker's new model designed to test your 3D printer and filament to their limits! The popular 3D Benchy model has become the go to print for users looking to optimize their printers and software settings. However, with the development in filaments and printers over the last couple years, the Benchy model only serves as an entry level when pushing your printer to the limits. Most printers PLA settings will produce a solid Benchy, which is why we have created the much more challenging PolyPearl Tower. With inspiration drawn from the famous Oriental Pearl Tower located down the road from Polymaker's Headquarters in Shanghai, this is an architectural model.... with a twist.

This model has a number of features within the design to challenge your 3D printer to its limits. We know a thing or two about printing and we still can't produce a perfect print, Can you? Find out more about the model in the article above.

• Remade model in OpenSCAD
• Polymaker logo changed to a simple hollow cylinder (as I don't have the copyright to distribute it); you can re-enable the logo in the .scad file parameters.
