After downloading the files, I sliced them one by one like so:

I used an Ultimaker 2+ to perform the tests (Fablab SP).

There is a nice evaluation system described in [How to evaluate the test geometries](https://makezine.com/2014/11/07/how-to-evaluate-the-2015-make-3dp-test-probes/). I used this to score the printer I was using. This is the result.

There is a nice evaluation system described in [How to evaluate the test geometries](https://makezine.com/2014/11/07/how-to-evaluate-the-2015-make-3dp-test-probes/). It assigns a score by observing details to evaluate the different qualities of the machine. I think it is an interesting way to determine and learn how to design well for a particular machine. I used this to score the printer I was using. This is the result.

Here are all the tests overall:

It means that if I keep overhand till 50 deg, negative Tolerance atleast 0.4mm, not keep too fine details the qulaity of the design printing should be fine.

Touch the two probes on the two points to be checked and beep will give the feedback.
#### Use *oscilloscope* to check noise of operating voltage
An oscilloscope, o=scope or scope is useful to measure amplitude, frequency or transient signals that a multimeter cannot catch. It samples a signal and displays the waveform on a screen. Both digital squarewaves and analog curved waves.
Parts of the ocilloscope interface.
1. The screen on the left displays the waveforms.
2. The channel ports. This one has 2.
3. The vertical sections controls the voltage scale on the display for each channel independantly.
4. The horizontal section controls the timescale for both channels.
5. The third section is to trigger specific controls of the scope.
6. The menu section has various settings, like capturing an image for eg.
7. Buttons to start and stop measuring.
8. Passive voltage scope to measure voltage across the probe ends.
