SpeedBenchy - 3D Printer speed benchmark

thingiverse

# SpeedBenchy is a 3DBenchy benchmark for speed and adequacy ### You may know 3DBenchy as a combined stress test for 3D Printers. But there seems to be very few records of speed benchmarks with it. When there are though, it uses this modified version **without text on the bottom**, and inconsistent parameters. This is made to resolve this issue and have a consistent test. # Here are the rules ### Slicing : - 0.2mm resolution - Wall line count set to 2 - Top and bottom layers set to 3 - Skirt with 2 lines - Infill at 15% - Infill pattern set to cubic (or similar, specify in results) ### Hardware : - FDM (layer-by-layer) Printer - Any filament is allowed, but PLA is preferred. Specify in results - Any and all modifications are allowed, but availability to consumers is preferred ### Result rules : - Large details must be clear (general shapes are good, this includes the roof bridging) - Medium detail must be observable (trims and such are at least acceptable) - Small details must show proof of being there (small details can be absent, but the printer needs to have tried, ie not being able to read the plate at the back but it being there) ### Post your results as a Makes or in the comments : - Adequate pictures are appreciated - Show all potential points of failure to assess the quality of the print - Make sure to time your print correctly, this is easily done with Octoprint by writing down the "Print time" on skirt touchdown**¹** and subtracting that time to the print time when it ends., Usually ends up being [ (Time) - 2 ± 1min ] due to heating. ### This test is subjective and imprecise, but should be sufficient to have a rough idea of how fast one's printer goes whilst still being relatively precise. *¹ : Skirt touchdown is the exact time when the printer lays down the start of the skirt after the priming sequence, if present. This means the times ignore the heating and priming sequences, as well as travel after the priming. Everything else, including the skirt, is timed.*
