## Get the most from a benchmark

- **Send parts as you would produce them:** the same material, the same printer and the same post-print cleaning.
- **Tell us what matters:** appearance, sealing, a fit, a feature you are worried about.
- **Include your hardest feature:** small text, a channel or a thin wall. See [Small features, text and sharp edges: test before you commit (opens the community forum in a new tab)](https://amtpostpro.discourse.group/t/small-features-text-and-sharp-edges-test-before-you-commit/45).

Once you have results, you are welcome to share what you learned in [Show your parts (opens the community forum in a new tab)](https://amtpostpro.discourse.group/c/show-your-parts), if the parts are yours to show.

Next step

## See the price. Run the numbers. Hold the part.
