I bought myself a new Creality Ender-3 v2 and wanted to test the thing out so I decided to make my own little benchmark just for the occasion. What I like about this design is that it seems somewhat unique compared to other benchmarks that I've seen, it's highly customizable, prints quickly using very little plastic and the customizer is simple and easy to use. The best feature is how it expands the bridging distances radially along each overhang to show you the absolute limits of your printer's abilities at each angle.
My favorite thing about this design is that it is oddly snail-shaped which fits right in with other projects I've been working on for my entirely fictitious aerospace manufacturing company: Nautilus Aerospace. The hardest part of this project was learning new ways to apply ideas from 9th-grade algebra to 3D space.
I've created some example STL files to play with but I've only printed the 45-75 degree test which took about 25 minutes to print and weighed somewhere around 2g.
