Description
After many nights I am excited to introduce Benchy Island - the ultimate 10th anniversary interactive display piece for your Benchy fleet! Now you can see your Benchy move at an increasing brisk clip around your fleet and as it sails around the Island. The island features 4 magnetically attachable base locations to allow you to easily connect any Benchy you print! You are no longer limited to one Benchy, print them all if you want! In the center, a glowing LED palm tree featuring coconuts lights up the island, creating a tropical vibe to celebrate your successful or failed prints.
But that's not all – Benchy Island allows you to adjust the Benchy's sailing speed and the brightness of the island using two potentiometers, truly bringing your creations alive. Quickly set sail with an on/off switch. Your Benchy will transverse the see as it sails up and down intense waves. Swap out the brown palm tree for a white one to really light up the island.
Can ye command a fleet of Benchies, or will yer printer be walkin’ the plank?
Assembly Instructions
- I have attached a pdf that contains the assembly instructions for Benchy Island. I hope you enjoy the fun build!
- Ensure you have pliers to pull the support material off the prints.
- I have included layer heights for all the prints in the build instructions. All the parts are already laid out on build plates to be printed together.
- Benchy Island uses a set of spur gears and bevel gears to achieve the optimal speed based on the N20 400 RPM motor.
- Please double check magnet polarity before pressing the magnets in. There are two instances where once they are pressed in they are extremely difficult to remove.
