In today's round of Hobby Drama, apparently the owner of the "Benchy" common 3D printer benchmark/test model was bought out and is now trying to get any modified models taken down:
https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/1hwj9y1/fyi_3dbenchycom_is_sending_lawyers_to_kill_the_fun/
The original model was marked "no derivatives" in its license, but it's been 10 years, and there are thousands of remixes are out there.
Some better modern alternative test models are in that thread. I'm going to start using Cali Cat

@jimp I can also suggest the cute dancing fox, which apart from being cute, also serves as a pretty good 'calibration/are things working' model: https://www.printables.com/model/553732-cute-dancing-fox-low-polysupportless

@koz That does look like it would make for a pretty good test!
Benchy was good 10 years ago but printers have evolved so much since then, the tests need to evolve, too.

@jimp Our small community at @3dprinting (or at least, some of us) use it as a speed benchmark. We have a table of records and everything!

@jimp I like the E3DBuggy, it's a little more challenging than the cali cat.

@jimp This is definitely a shitty move for a company like this.
