Minimum Viable Feature Test Probe by MatthewGTaylor

Last crawled date: 4 years, 7 months ago
Use to determine which features will print sufficiently to be a functional part of a mechanical print.
A Minimum Viable Feature is more than just what will make it through your slicer and onto the bed of your machine, although that is interesting.
Minimum Viable Features are the smallest things that are actually useful. Solid modeling is deceptive at times - it's easy to lose track of the scale and size you're working at. Run this test part, decide the threshold of usefulness by size or angle of each of the different features. Then bake those into your design process as the minimums that you'll use.
Part includes:
Slot, wall and cylindrical pin in sizes from 0.1 to 2.0mm in 0.1mm steps
Overhangs from 70deg to 25deg from horizontal, in 5 degree increments.
