Kickstarter & Autodesk collab 3D printer test

Since I love this test for calibrating new printers and couldn't find it on prusaprinters.org,           I uploaded it here.

Please note, this is not my work!

Autodesk and Kickstarter have developed a common standard that enables people to assess the performance of FDM 3D printers. (You can read more about why we undertook this initiative here.) The features composing this geometry are largely based off the collaboration between Andreas Bastian and Make Magazine to develop Make Magazine’s early 3D printer shootout benchmarking protocol.

You can find the instructions and whole project here:

My recommendation is to stick a piece of tape tape to the bottom to fix the tolerance pins in place and to have some space to note your settings or slicer profile.

I print this file once every 3 months to test for printer performance degradation and print environment impacts (cold months, humidity and so on)

In the files section you will also find a table to note down your measurements to get a final test score, big thanks to Toino for the table.

If you need the design adapted or otherwise changed, please feel free to ask, I will gladly help out or provide the associated .step or .f3d files. And as always, happy printing!
