Overview This is a compact and efficient "Torture Test" designed to help you find the perfect settings for your filament, especially for Silk PLA. Unlike standard towers, this model uses 10x10x10mm blocks stacked at a 45-degree rotation to test multiple parameters simultaneously.

What this model tests:

1. Temperature: Identify the "Sweet Spot" for maximum gloss and layer adhesion.
2. 45° Overhangs: Check how your cooling fan handles steep angles on every floor.
3. Bridges: Small bridging gaps between rotated blocks to test sagging.
4. Stringing & Oozing: Clear visual feedback on retraction performance across different temperatures.
5. Corner Precision: Observe "Corner Bulging" to fine-tune your Pressure Advance (K-factor).

Technical Specifications:

• Block Dimensions: 10 x 10 x 10 mm.
• Rotation: 45° offset per floor.
• Total Height: Depends on your stack (e.g., 60mm or 80mm).

G-Code Instructions (Manual Setup): To use this as a Temperature Tower, you need to add custom G-code in your slicer (Preview tab -> Right-click layer slider -> Add Custom G-code).

Suggested Layer Swaps (at 0.2mm layer height):

• Layer 1: Start at 230°C (Default)
• Layer 63: M104 S225
• Layer 101: M104 S220
• Layer 139: M104 S215
• Layer 176: M104 S210
• Layer 215: M104 S205
• Layer 252: M104 S200
• Layer 289: M104 S190

Printing Tips: For the best results with Silk PLA, keep your Outer Wall Speed between 30-50 mm/s. If you experience heavy stringing at all levels, please ensure your filament is thoroughly dried (50°C for 6+ hours) before running the test.
