A CAD rendering of the part is attached and a photo of the two prints I made is here:

In the linked image, the part on the left was printed with the Fine profile on AM version 1.03 I think. Both were printed with Taulman T-Glase Clear. The one on the left was printed with the same version of AutoMaker and with the coarse or draft setting. Two other differences; the print on the left has a thicker base and a smaller overhang test. The print on the right is the one in the previously attached zip file; the base is thinner to speed sprinting and the overhang area is larger to make it easier to see the results.

The design intent behind this part is to be able to do a relatively quick test part with different filaments and profiles. My plan was to develop a reference chart of the different materials and how they printed using this part. I will probably do that once AutoMaker settles down and my printer works again.

@simonallen,

Yes, you can use T-Glase. You can use the attached profile. Ignore the color and the ABS tag.

Unzip the file and place the profile in the filaments folder. In Windows 7, it is \Documents\CEL Robox\Filaments. Start AutoMaker and you should be able to select the new profile. I have had good luck using T-Glase with the default profiles as long as you are ok without good optical properties. I don’t usually need brims or skirts for T-Glase, but make sure you clean your bed with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) before printing and you should be good. You may need to tighten your extruder slightly for T-Glase, but if you have been running ABS it should work.

You may also want to print at 101% to 102% to account for shrinkage. I have been using Taulman Bridge a lot lately and have to print that material at 102% for good dimensions.
