Printing the Test Snake in the MAKE 3D Print Shop

We’re putting the printers through their paces at our 3D printer test weekend. We’ve done simple tests, torture tests, and beauty tests. For the first print, we went with Zomboe’s Snake model (seen here). We’re putting all of the test prints in labeled bags so we can keep them all straight and compare/photograph them later. It’s fascinating to look at multiple prints of the same thing, done on different printers, and compare their respective strengths and weaknesses. We’re learning a lot.
