Anyone know a good, small calibration object to print for figuring out better support slicing settings, specifically?

I hate dealing with supports so much that I hardly ever print anything that needs them, which means I haven't really got those settings dialed in at all 😅

@lytta same here, I avoid supports for the same reason

@DoubleA there are some things that really need them though, like museum scans, which i want to print more of

@DoubleA like if I'm designing something myself then using supports means I've failed 😂 but if I'm printing a scan of an artifact I want all the weird little bumps and details 🥲

@lytta There are some models my boys wanted to build but everytime I would try to print them with the supports we needed I either couldn't tell where the supports ended and the model began, or I had a few where the supports didn't seem to adhere to anything and just turned into a stringy mess.

I did manage to get the latter issue fixed last week though so I'm slowly improving, but I am interested to see if anyone shares solutions on your post.
