"Benito´s" Chairs from Albumcover

Benito´s Chairs – As Close to the Original Album Models as Possible

After failing to find a model online that satisfied my OCD-level requirements — especially print quality and support removal — I decided to take matters into my own hands and create a version that stays as faithful as possible to the original designs from the album.

The problem with the model in general are the small walls so I had to change that somehow.

That left me with only one option: dive into Blender and learn how to fix it properly.

After extensive work in Blender, I finally transformed the model into something truly printable.

The result is what you see here :)

It’s easy to print and reasonably easy to remove supports without risking damage.

UPDATE 19.02.2025 MINI Print Profile:  

After extensive testing, I found that simply downscaling the original model didn't yield the quality I wanted.

To get as close as possible to a good quality at a smaller scale, I went back to the beginning and rebuilt the geometry in Blender.

Improvements:

• Reinforced Geometry: I thickened the structural elements to ensure the model remains stable during the print.
• Easier Post-Processing: The thickened design allows for much easier support removal without the risk of snapping the legs or frame.
• Perfect Scale: This model is exactly 50% the size of the original version 

Below, you can see the evolution of the prototypes leading up to the final refined version in the front!

Fun Fact:

I was listening to the album while designing this ;)

Have fun printing and let me know how well it went!
