#0007 Quick Overhang Test Part - 3 to pick from

Not only do many overhang tests take too long (I'm impatient), I find that they have a few other problems:

1. The features are often cantilevered out from other overhang objects so that the cantilever arm allows the printed cantilever to flex, which contributes to overhang print issues that are not due to the overhang itself.  This one is a nice and short cantilever off of a vertical wall for each angle so you only look at the overhang itself.
2. Other's print overhang one angle setting at a time, so you have to wait and wait (and wait) for the problematic ones to print.  This one tests 25-80 degrees (from vertical) all at the same time, so you see right away which angles are problematic, which allows you to stop the print early if you wanted.
3. I started the test angle at 25 degrees.  The vast majority of filaments can handle overhangs less than 25 degrees (from vertical), so I figured it's not worth testing.

Three versions are provided:

1. Sharp overhang corners + Straight overhang side
2. Rounded overhang corners + Straight overhang side = marked with “rounded”
3. Rounded overhang corners + curved overhang side = marked with “convex”

You may find that overhang performance is a bit better if the overhang is curved (convex)

Depending on the material you are testing, print with a 2-4mm brim if you want it to stick well to the bed.
