There are many great test towers out there, for stringing, for temperature, for overhangs, bridging.

This is a generic one with increments every 5 mms so its easier to program your slicer.

There are many factors which affect stringing and you can play with each individually with this.

This allows you to isolate a function and test it over 7 different increments.

So if you want to test stringing and retractions for example you would set your slicer to print with zero retractions for 0-5 mms, for 1 mm retraction for 5-10mm, with 2mm retraction for 10-15, and so on.

You can do this for wipe, coasting, retraction speed, fan, or any variable you like.
Do this for one function at a time to see the difference in any setting and dial in your best settings.

The easiest way to program your slicer in Simplify3D to have multiple processes is:
1. create basic process for the material you are going to use.

2. go to Tools > Variable Settings Wizard

3. in Variable Settings
