About this print
A calibration and skill-test model for 3D printer owners, intended to print without support material. The geometry challenges a printer's bridging and overhang capabilities, and is commonly used to assess tuning and evaluate printer performance. It falls into the 3D printer accessories and testing category. PLA is the standard choice for calibration prints, as it is widely used, forgiving to work with, and makes results easy to compare.

Printing Pin-Support Challenge
For Pin-Support Challenge we would normally reach for PLA — it is the easy, economical default and suits the majority of models. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
