The 3DBenchy (Benchy) is the most widely used benchmark, as it evaluates overhangs, bridging, dimensional accuracy, and surface finish in a single print. For targeted assessment, use overhang tests, stringing tests, calibration cubes, or ASTM D638 tensile coupons, depending on the specific quality parameters you want to measure.
