Test prints designs?

Alrighty, I'd like to start printing some files with nylon with varying degrees of moisture content in order to demonstrate differences in finish, layer adhesion, alignment, bridging ability, etc.

Hollow test cube and the single walled cal cube are on my list.

I'm also going to be printing this http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:29019 scaled to 50%

Anyone got another print that would be good for this?

Try a large flat object, perhaps that bed level indication print that's been circulating around, possibly scale it up along the z too, make it go a few layers.

I'm curious about how long it stays pliable and how it cools compared to the other materials. I'd print something with an overhang that would normally tend to curl and warp. Maybe something small that would tend to melt too.

I haven't gone through the list and picked out the good ones from the bad ones, but that's the collection of things that I thought looked interesting.

I don't have a print for you but I do have an off topic question that I have been meaning to ask.
We both know how large the trimmerline spools are and I had hoped to mount it on the top of
my RMax. Could you tell me how you did this and if you had a picture that would be great.
I apologize for disturbing your thread.

How about this one for overhangs? http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:169113

Here you go...

If you want to print it with nylon, I recommend printing it with honeycomb with at least 50% infill, otherwise it will have too much flex.
