NOTE:
This design is known to break easily, and the first print profile should be considered a challenge. The parts can be difficult to separate and may be fragile. The second print profile will be stronger because it is oriented for improved durability, but it will require assembly. Please consider printing the second print profile!

Unleash the ultimate fusion of creativity and engineering with this articulating, print-in-place 3D Benchy Robot!

Originally designed by Daniel Norée & Paulo Kiefe, this masterpiece remixed takes the beloved 3D Benchy and transforms it into a fully-articulating robot with hidden missile turrets—all without needing assembly. Simply print and unlock its transformation!

Features:

✅ Print-in-Place Magic – No need for post-print assembly.
✅ Transforms between Benchy & Robot – A dual-form masterpiece.
✅ Hidden Missile Turrets – A futuristic twist on a classic design.
✅ Carefully Engineered Joints – Loosen gently for smooth articulation.

Printing Tips:

🛠 Material: Use normal PLA for durability—brittle PLA may break easily.
🛠 Nozzle: 0.4 mm nozzle recommended.
🛠 Print Settings: Fine resolution ensures precision and flawless movement.
🛠 Joint Loosening: Slowly nudge joints to free movement—avoid excessive force. A thin knife can help with delicate areas.

This BenchBot is a must-have for makers, collectors, and anyone who loves innovative designs. Bring it to life with your 3D printer and let the transformation begin!

NOTE: This model maintains the original scale, which naturally limits the overall print size. As a result, some pieces may be quite small and inherently fragile. If you're experiencing breakage or difficulty loosening or unfolding the joints, consider scaling the model slightly larger to improve durability and ease of movement.

NOTE2: If you’re having trouble printing the in-place Benchy Robot, I’ve added a second print profile that prints each piece separately. This improves durability, strength, and makes assembly easier—but you’ll need to assemble the robot yourself.

The connection was not robust, breaking mid-deployment

@WongMaker

You have to do it slowly and move it back and forth. Its a small model. 1* is kind of harsh

@user_3276144901

mine did the same thing but worse

@mangoyum

it was very good print but it is also very hard to cut.

The designer has replied

@WongMaker

Thanks you! Try the second print profile, it is a much stronger print. Assembly required no cutting needed.

thanks

@mangoyum

where making a 3d print company that earns real money so I’m triing to print different stuff.!

@user_2137052440

I didn't know how to open it 😕

The designer has replied

@WongMaker

Gently loosen the joints, then use a small knife to carefully separate the parts that are stuck

@Gooseq112

broke so easy

The designer has replied

@WongMaker

If you want a stronger model, the second build profile is better. You will need to assemble the robot, but it is layout to be stronger

you can't un fold it without it breaking

@WongMaker

Sorry it broke, the print in place version is a bit fragile, try the second print profile, it is a much stronger print. Assembly required.

Strength Issue:Didnt even open it and it snapped.. Strengh is poor.

The profile uploader has replied

@WongMaker

Yeah, I kept the boat size the same as the original. Try the second print profile, it will be stronger, but some assembly required

@aripsiga

Replying to @WongMaker :

Nice, thanks

@gorilla696980

@WongMaker can you add some thing that connects the parts together so they dont fall apart when you stop holding that area

The designer has replied

@WongMaker

I have created a second print profile to print it in a stronger orientation, and you assemble it together. This one is stronger and will not break that easily. Let me know if that works for you

@WongMaker

Replying to @WongMaker :

Also, you can use it to repair broken parts, but some small drilling will be required

@user_4003932085

hey, I really like this. It’s really fun to play with.

The designer has replied

@WongMaker

thank you <3

@MasonPrime1234

This one of the best bench boat transformer I've seen that is not to complex but still is fun to transform, and it goes well withe the "Combined Robot-Benchy" 3d print. 5/5

@WongMaker

Thank you for the kind comments—it's truly refreshing, especially amid the wave of negativity and non‑constructive feedback I often receive. I really appreciate it.
