<p><i>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></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>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. </strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Please add your profiles as you see fit for the community to use to run tests. Thanks!</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>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.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>All models uploaded and the below content is extracted from 3Dbenchy.com.</i></p><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://youtu.be/_epwuDI9FBI"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_epwuDI9FBI" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><a href="http://www.3dbenchy.com/features/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><img src="http://www.3dbenchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/3DBenchy__Low-slope_surfaces_1-300x300.png"></a></figure><p>#3DBenchy is designed to offer a large array of challenging geometrical features for 3D printers, and touch on different issues related to additive manufacturing.</p><p>The 3D model is designed to print at 1:1 scale without support materials.

The maximum deviation from the original CAD file is set to 0.001 mm.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="http://www.3dbenchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Feature_high-res_stl_mesh-300x300.png" alt="Feature_high-res_stl_mesh"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Planar Horizontal Faces</h2><p>The top surfaces of the deck, box and chimney are planar, horizontal and parallel to the bottom plane.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="http://www.3dbenchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Feature_planar_horizontal_faces-300x300.png" alt="Feature_planar_horizontal_faces"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Tiny Surface Details</h2><p>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.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="http://www.3dbenchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Feature_3DBenchy_nameplate_tiny_detail-300x300.png"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Cylindrical Shapes</h2><p>The chimney is designed to define concentrical cylindrical shapes with inner and outer diameters. These clearly show deviations in roundness.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="http://www.3dbenchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Feature_conentrical_cylindrical_shapes-300x300.png" alt="Feature_conentrical_cylindrical_shapes"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Overhang Surfaces</h2><p>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.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="http://www.3dbenchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Feature_overhang_bridge-300x300.png" alt="Feature_overhang_bridge"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Low-Slope-Surfaces</h2><p>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.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="http://www.3dbenchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Feature_low-slope-surfaces-300x300.png" alt="Feature_low-slope-surfaces"></figure><h2>Large Horizontal Holes</h2><p>The rear window offers a large circular horizontal hole and the boat’s wheel offers a round difficult-to-reach secluded feature.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="http://www.3dbenchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Feature_large_horizontal_hole-300x300.png" alt="Feature_large_horizontal_hole"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Small Horizontal Holes</h2><p>The hawsepipe represents a small short horizontal hole and has a very thin flange against the hull.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="http://www.3dbenchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Feature_hawsepipe_small_hole-300x300.png" alt="Feature_hawsepipe_small_hole"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Slanted Small Holes</h2><p>The fishing-rod-holder provides a very small slightly-slanted blind hole.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="http://www.3dbenchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Feature_fishing-rod-holder_slanted_small_hole-300x300.png" alt="Feature_fishing-rod-holder_slanted_small_hole"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>First-Layer-Details</h2><p>The shallow letters at the bottom of the boat clearly reveal typical first-layer-squashing.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="http://www.3dbenchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Feature_shallow_letters_bottom_plate-300x300.png" alt="Feature_shallow_letters_bottom_plate"></figure><h2> License</h2><figure class="image"><a href="http://www.3dbenchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/3DBenchy_frontpage_slider_sea_v041.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><img src="http://www.3dbenchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/3DBenchy_frontpage_slider_sea_v041-1024x402.jpg"></a></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>#3DBenchy by <a target="_blank" href="http://creative-tools.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">Creative-Tools.com</a> is licensed under a <a target="_blank" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/" rel="nofollow noopener">Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License</a>.
