About this 3D model

This is the original #3DBenchy directly from Creative Tools. Not a download of a download, nor all the slightly modified versions found elsewhere (ie, BambuLab Studio, Printables, etc…) I would like to introduce the #3DBenchy to Maker World. During the close beta period, there was no #3DBenchy available to send to the printer from the phone app so I uploaded it here. Please add your profiles as you see fit for the community to use to run tests. Thanks! Community members have provided a ton of different profiles. I hope you find one that fits your testing needs. Remember, a bad Benchy print could mean your filament calibrations are off, or a sign of mechanical error (for Bambu Printers.) All models uploaded and the below content is extracted from 3Dbenchy.com. #3DBenchy is designed to offer a large array of challenging geometrical features for 3D printers, and touch on different issues related to additive manufacturing. The 3D model is designed to print at 1:1 scale without support materials. It is challenging for most 3D printers but the small volume (15.55 cm3) typically prints in well under two hours and does not require much material. The different surfaces of the #3DBenchy model reveal typical issues regarding surface finish, model accuracy, warping, etc. Visit this link to see a complete list of each feature and correspondent descriptions. Use #3DBenchy to test and calibrate your 3D printer by adjusting hardware and software settings for optimal results. The shape and size of this 3D model is designed to challenge 3D printers. Compare your #3DBenchy results with the dimensions illustrated in this link . These are easy to measure with a caliper. Print and check your 3D-printer’s result for dimensional accuracy, tolerances, warping and deviations related to changes in printing parameters and material types.

The Hull The hull is a large, smooth overhanging curved surface that is challenging to 3D-print, and clearly reveals any surface deviations. Symmetry #3DBenchy is perfectly symmetrical which makes any skewness and warping easy to detect. High-Resolution STL file The STL file is triangulated at a very high resolution which yields smooth surfaces. The maximum deviation from the original CAD file is set to 0.001 mm. Planar Horizontal Faces The top surfaces of the deck, box and chimney are planar, horizontal and parallel to the bottom plane. Tiny Surface Details If you have a high-resolution 3D printer, this is where you can shine! The letters on the stern are less than 2 mm tall and the thickness of #3DBenchy’s nameplate is just 0.1 mm. Cylindrical Shapes The chimney is designed to define concentrical cylindrical shapes with inner and outer diameters. These clearly show deviations in roundness. Overhang Surfaces Overhang issues are the Achilles’ heel of 3D printing. #3DBenchy offers several challenging areas such as in the difficult-to-reach inside of the bridge. Low-Slope-Surfaces Low-slope-surfaces clearly show the layered structure of 3D printing. If printed horizontally, #3DBenchy’s gunwale and roof of the bridge will reveal the layer-steps. Large Horizontal Holes The rear window offers a large circular horizontal hole and the boat’s wheel offers a round difficult-to-reach secluded feature. Small Horizontal Holes The hawsepipe represents a small short horizontal hole and has a very thin flange against the hull. Slanted Small Holes The fishing-rod-holder provides a very small slightly-slanted blind hole. First-Layer-Details The shallow letters at the bottom of the boat clearly reveal typical first-layer-squashing.
