That's looking good.
How large can the volume be?

I made mine 70x70mm for the inner size and 120x120mm for the full size. I only need small parts so it made sense to keep it small.

I got my first 3D printer. An Ender 3 V3 SE. I got it because some fellow sim racers use it.

Can someone please recommend some good test print files so I can make sure it prints well before I start using it for real?

Printing Benchy is a good place to start.

Here's my 20 years of progress. From scratch built mechs from bits of styrene to fully digital and detailed 3D printed models. What a time to be alive.

I'm just waiting for the day 3D printers get so advanced we go to the store. Buy Hasbro brand filament. Buy an STL file from Hasbro. And then print our official Transformers, in the quality that comes out of the factories in Vietnam, but in our own home.
