Summary
Do you love Benchys but are frustrated because they don't float in water?
Do you want to print your child a cool Benchy for the bathtub?
Here is the stable floating Benchy with cargo containers, smoke and flag in a multicolor version!
Key features
- Very stable floating benchy with good water holding (significantly better than some other "floating" boats)
- 3 cargo containers which can be loaded onto the benchy
- Smoke that can be put into the chimney
- A flag for the stern of the ship
- AMS / MMU multicolor (3 colors) version available
Tip if you don't have a multicolor printer: Use the "pause print" or M600 gcode ("filament change") command in your slicer to incorporate one or more color changes.
Print the Benchy
Use 12% Tri-Hexagon infill or other closed infills (in case of leakage. Titanic and all that ;-) )
Keep the Benchy under 30g (100% scale & accessories excluded) to float stable.
Walls
1st Layer 0.2mm
3 perimeters / outer walls
4 bottom layers
5 top layers
8 bottom solid layers @ 0.3mm layer height or
16 bottom solid layers @ 0.15 layer height
No supports (except the smoke: Print this in shown direction WITH supports and 0.1mm layer height!)
Waterproofness
I printed mine in PETG with a low overextrusion (+4%) and got it absolutely tight.
I have read that printing with a layer height of 0.15 results in better watertightness.
The Benchy itself is childproof.
WARNING: The accessories are not suitable for children under 3 years of age (risk of swallowing).
Do you like my work? I would be very happy if you would support my work on Ko-fi.
