Help: Suggested Test Prints

I am working on reviewing filaments.  I want a couple small prints that test the quality of a filament’s prints but do not use a whole lot of a roll.  Any one have any suggestions?  I currently use the Prusa Whistle, a coin, and a small XYZ cube.

I'm keeping a small batch of Moais as filament samples, I scaled them down so they don't take a lot of filament.

They're fast to print and look great! 

Edit: here they are!

Coin for scale

I've attached the .3mf file in case you need it 🙂

I quite liked this filament sample print off Thingiverse.

The basic print shows the color nicely, there's space to write down details on the print itself for easy reference and it prints thin layers in 3 thicknesses that nicely show off filament transparency or lack thereof.

I've taken to these for my own samples/color reference:

The vertically stackable calicat may be of interest too for quick test prints.
