Side by Side 3D Print Comparison

Just a side by side comparison of a few 3D printed parts:

Back To The Usual Bump and Grind, Pt. 1

To Anyone that Stumbled on to my Blog...

It's been awhile, mainly do to my heavy work load. Obviously, since getting our new puppy (my last post), almost all our our time has been spent watching and training the pup. I still have my regular work duties and school (County College of Morris) keeping me going or in this case away from posting to the blog page. Anyway, I'm looking for some answers to a few questions and through this blog, I will share the information so we all can benefit.  

So, my latest search for information is regarding 3D printing. I have access to a 3D printer finally. This past year I got involved with more 3D drafting, helping out my customers through my consulting business and with BIM at my full-time position. The information I've been getting has not been entirely clear so...I'm looking those answers.

These are my "Proposed Prints" (Exports):

These are the "Test Prints":

So... does anyone have any suggestions?
As usual any help or information would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Milt
