This is the official Make: Magazine rook model used in their third annual 3D Printing Shootout to test and review 26 different machines. Originally created for evaluating SLA and resin printers, this benchmark model has become a standard for assessing print quality and machine performance.

The rook's geometric features are specifically designed to challenge your printer and reveal its capabilities. Fine details, overhangs, and varying surface angles make this model an excellent calibration tool for anyone serious about getting the best results from their resin printer.

Whether you're dialing in a new machine, comparing different printers, or simply want a functional test piece that doubles as a decorative chess piece, this Make: rook delivers practical value. It's the same model trusted by Make: Magazine's reviewers to evaluate professional-grade equipment.
