Everything was .3mm, except the Yoda which is specifically for testing .1mm.  I have profiles for Cura and Slic3r that I will post later.  KISSlicer can save profiles, but not export them.

Edit: Just saw you posted a new blog with the prints. Thanks for all this great info!

But could you also run the slicer tests at .3 vs .1 mm? I'm wondering which slicer does best at what resolution, but haven't dialed everything in for .1 mm prints yet.

Slic3r 097
Slic3r 096
Slic3r 072b
Cura (Skeinforge 50 frontend)
Skeinforge 39
KISSlicer

With these slicers I printed a modified version of Make Magazine's Torture Test (with added torture), the Stelliform Owl, Tiny Yoda at .1mm, and a few other test items. 

I also want to test support, possibly with a My Little Pony.  Some MLP models have some very thin wings that need to be supported, and due to the way they were converted for printing tend to be very fragile so it should make a good challenge.  I haven't had much luck with Slic3r's support material on Ponies in the past, so it would be an opportunity to see if there has been some improvement.  Also I've been under some pressure to print more ponies so this will serve both purposes.

I have the first two posts up so far, starting here - http://solidoodletips.wordpress.com/201 … omparison/
