Wasn't aware of the test (SuperSlicer user here), and found this.
The tower has multiple notches, each one corresponding to a different retraction length. By looking at the tower after printing, you can see how each retraction length affects the print quality.
So check your surface finish and select the retraction value with the best looks.
The print is so small and I literally cannot see the results. I can't even photograph it clear enough with my camera phone.
That is not how it is supposed to look, the end result should be at least a couple of inches wide.
