I've also included a challenging model that I tuned these TPUs specifically on, a low-poly Evee, because it reveals many defects specific to TPU.  \u003cstrong\u003eIf you see the Evee model in the 3MF, you can know that the profile has been verified\/fixed!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003e6\/22\/23: Updated my profile for NinjaTek Cheetah TPU with a better PA value.
