We have 11 separate test models that each look at a different and individual aspect of a 3D printer’s performance. Most models are scored on a scale between 0 to 5 points, with the exception of the Z Wobble test, which is pass/fail, scoring either 0 or 2 points.

After all prints are completed and scored, those scores are added together to form the overall total score for that machine.

Other useful aspects, like how loud the printer is or its physical characteristics, are important as well, but they do not affect the machines’ testing scores.
