Vibration a.k.a. ripple a.k.a. shadow a.k.a. ghosting test

Print Inspect for ghosting of the sharp edges (letters, dimples, corners) Proof your machine for vibration ??? Profit! Note: I've noticed a lot of people complaining it's rotated wrong by default. It's actually not rotated wrong, it's just not rotated very intuitively :) The letter X is not supposed to be parallel with the X axis - it's supposed to indicate vibration of the X axis. Since vibration of the X axis is perpendicular to the Y axis, the face that says "X" needs to be parallel with the Y axis. Instructions Make sure to test with both PLA and ABS at a variety of temperatures. The hotter the extrusion, the more liquid it is and more obvious the vibration artifacts will be. Also, PLA is much less viscous than ABS. Test with a variety of colors as well. Semi-transparent filaments tend to hide the vibration artifacts rather well. As do matte and very light filaments. Glossy black and opaque silver work very very well. Mind the X and Y orientation when slicing - having the labels correspond to actual X and Y axes will make debugging easier.
