The 3DBenchy, or Benchy for short, is a popular test model for 3D printers. Designed with overhanging curved surfaces, flat planes, holes, and other difficult geometry, it’s a great way to ...

Benchy is that cute little boat that everyone uses to calibrate their 3D printer. [Emily The Engineer] asked the obvious question—why isn’t it a real working boat? Then she followed through on ...

But here is the problem with Thingiverse: even if you would like to get away from using this Makerbot service, it’s still the largest collection of 3D printed objects on the Internet.

The Creality Ender-3 V3 is an open-frame 3D printer, which means it has an exposed printing area that's ideal for basic ...

However, if you host your design on Thingiverse (and I’ll sidestep the political problems that always crop up) you have another option. Thingiverse offers a customizer option that allows you to ...

An example comes from [Morgan Lowe], whose 3DLS lead screw driven 3D printer joins the freely downloadable designs to be found on Thingiverse ... does a decent-looking Benchy on the bench ...

The idea behind the SpeedBoatRace is how quickly you can print a Benchy — the little boat that is used as a test print for a 3d printer. Speeding up a print is quite tricky as it means moving ...

What’s more, this modification arrives a few weeks weeks after we first saw an open source version of the rolling screw thread extruder land on Thingiverse back in September. Getting a direct ...

The cost estimate is a nice touch too, on the off chance you want to know exactly how many pennies you’re burning up each time you print out a Benchy. The second highest rated OctoPrint client ...

A sweet half-scale metal Benchy emerges at the end, so why does [Metal Matters] call this a 78.9% success? Because that’s the density of the final print, and he is shooting for 100%. But we ...

The best example I can come up with to demonstrate this filament-cooling problem is an overhang, and the Benchy tugboat I printed provides more than enough evidence that overhangs will be a ...
