Finally! The TMC2100 from watterot do deserve so much more attention. Thx, @Thomas_Sanladerer .

@Thomas_Sanladerer Have you considered having a single test print to run on all your reviews sort of like how Make Magazine does for their 3D printer shootout contest? The reviews are great, but they seem a bit inconsistent from my point of view… maybe I’m wrong, but I would be interested in comparing apples to apples (in terms of prints) as I noticed that you test different types of prints on different printers. What do you think?

@Shai_Schechter i generally run a benchy at reasonable default settings on every printer, but otherwise like to test a wider range of parts to cover all angles.
3D printers have so many variables that I find synthetic tests parts often specialize too much on corner cases of single parameters.
