Marky X - The Xtreme Benchy Bomber - Benchmark
Print Profile(3)
Description
“Marky” got a Makeover.😏
New version of your favorite bomber, now equipped with spinning propeller & wheels, an aggressive look, and the same amazing deployable bomb at the press of a button…
I now present “Marky X”, the Xtreme Benchmark Biplane Bomber!
Spinning Propeller:
- Pop the propeller forward into position via the access hole in the bottom (remove the bomb to reveal; it's highlighted blue in the following image). Use a small screwdriver or similar to pry the shaft forward (toward the front of the plane) till it clicks.
Spinning Wheels:
- Rock the wheels side to side gently to free them from the hubs and lower wings, wheels should spin freely and securely on the hub!
Clearance test #1:
- Marky X's belly bomb is flex-fit and print-in-place; if your printer is dialed in, the bomb is droppable.😎
Clearance test #2:
- Press down at a forward angle on the pilot's head to deploy the bomb!
No Supports:
- How?? This little guy is designed to be printed on his nose.
Part-Cooling Performance and Overhang Capability are tested by these (see image below) highlighted features:
Bed adhesion is tested by having minimal surface in contact with the build plate:
- SERIOUSLY. You might want to consider using a build plate adhesive; cause you're about to find out how reliable your first layer stick is!
- Bed adhesion is arguably the most important component of 3D printing; that's why it's included in this benchmark test.
- If you just want the plane, feel free to add a raft, brim, or recess the plane into the build plate a little to give yourself a larger starting surface area.👍
Bridging quality is tested in the four locations circled in yellow:
Geometric accuracy:
- Wing span = 55mm
- Wing spacing = 26.27mm
- Wing support thickness = 2mm (Qty 4)
- Tail rudder thickness = 2mm
- Wheel diameter (front wheels) = 14.1mm
- Wheel runout (front wheels) = How droopy are the first few layers on the front wheels?
- Tail width = 27mm
- Nose diameter = 24mm
- Nose to tail (Z-height accuracy) = 64mm
I actually intend for this bit to droop a bit so the pilot has a chin:
Extra Feature:
Eyelet feature (yes, it is positioned directly above the center of gravity) to hang your Markies from… everything?
Hang Marky from your monitor, rearview mirror, shelves, showerhead, nose ring… whatever floats your tugboat.😏
The beloved 3DBenchy has a special place in all our hearts. Why? It's cute, it's quick, it's useful, it's repeatable, it's comparable, it's measurable; and it will always WOW a toddler and grandparents alike. Thank you, Daniel Norée, for creating the 3DBenchy which we've all come to love; but alas, even legends fade.
I think it's time we consider another contestant who's a little younger than ye olde tugboat… Someone send this benchmark test to Zack Freedman!
As always, feedback is welcome!
ENJOY!
