I'm C.

My newest tower held 15kg at 6.4g.

Division C. Tower was only 59.9 cm though due to miscalculation. But the difference should be minimal.

First tower of the season.

Mass: 8.4g

Mass held: >15kg (probably around 25-30kg)
20-30kg is based off of estimates. We only had a max 500g scale so it is a pain to measure more.

Ratio = 15000/8.4 = 1786

Our ghetto chain ended up breaking before the tower so it may have held more, but it was ...

To clarify, I am only printing the loading block. It is nice 3D printed because it is super accurate.

What is the reason for this difference between textured and slick? Would the loading block slide off of the tower?

And also almost all prints created with heated beds will have fairly slick undersides.

Well I have a 3D printer so I just printed mine. I could share the STL if you don't know how to make a square with a hole in it.

So about a 25-35% decrease? Thanks for your insight. I have finished my first (crummy) tower, but will post back here when I test it. I'm not nationals material, but hopefully I can help to get a benchmark for people!

What are the scores for towers like this year? For example if I scored 1500 on bridge (c) last year, what should I try to aim for with my tower? I would imagine it would be slightly lower.
