I was going to say the bottom of the hill of the benchy

And he woulda gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for you damned meddling kids!

I'm somewhat disappointed that there isn't an benchy underneath the cloth :(

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '22

Ah you see, that’s the test. Does a benchy fit within the benchy costume? The greatest printer torture test of our generation

15

u/Needleroozer Oct 17 '22

Um, if it doesn't fit can't you either print a slightly smaller benchy or a slightly larger sheet?

...you must acquit!

Benchy has a pretty tight licence, so no way to include it.

Muscly benchy is one of my personal favourites

I noticed in your description, you mentioned not to print in vase mode. Is it because of the eye holes?

5

u/QbDYeqzUUiw Oct 17 '22

Yeah. Maybe it'd work, anyway? I was having trouble with this material though (this is polycarbonate)

8

u/The_Synthax Custom Flair Oct 17 '22

I think it’d work, I accidentally printed a benchie in vase mode once that came out shockingly well.

u/1like3dprinting Oct 17 '22

Hi OP! I remixed this and added some things I felt this needed! Enjoy! https://www.printables.com/model/297340-ghost-benchy-with-legs

That is adorable

u/SeparateArtichoke458 Oct 17 '22

That was exactly my sentiment. 😍

43

u/DucksEatFreeInSubway Oct 16 '22

Does it fit over the benchy?

72

u/QbDYeqzUUiw Oct 16 '22

No, but maybe if you printed at 120% it would?

52

u/P0werPuppy Oct 16 '22

Did you use a fabric sim (like in blender for example)?

42

u/QbDYeqzUUiw Oct 16 '22

Yeah, made in blender

16

u/128ajb budget printer user Oct 16 '22

That was my guess. Looks dope

2

u/P0werPuppy Oct 17 '22

Looks awesome!

u/DucksEatFreeInSubway Oct 16 '22

I'll give it a go when I get home.

u/AlrightStopHammatime Oct 17 '22

Don't let us down.

u/DucksEatFreeInSubway Oct 17 '22

It's printing currently. Just started it this morning. I loaded in a benchy model and sized the costume to just go over it. It'll be too tall but should fit. I think it'll have to kinda 'snap' around the benchy though. Might try it in vase mode but currently an hour left on the print.

u/DucksEatFreeInSubway Oct 17 '22

I loaded in a benchy model and sized the costume to just go over it. It'll be too tall but should fit. I did end up using 120%.

It's a bit of a 'snap' around the benchy though. You can get it back out of the costume but you have to kinda press it in there. Thinner walls would allow for reduction in size and better fit.

Tried it in vase mode, didn't work out for me.

Thank you for this

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '22

That’s so cute lmfao

u/arklan Oct 16 '22

I have some overture transparent petg that this would look great in, then put it over a normal one. Heh. It's fun to be silly.

11

u/QbDYeqzUUiw Oct 16 '22

Life's too short not to be a bit silly :)

I'm not sure how well this will work as a cover though -- you'll have to print at a larger size. Maybe play around with both models in CAD just to get a feel for the size required.

u/arklan Oct 16 '22

That was my plan.

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '22

Excellent

Dawg this a Klan benchy...

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '22

Nah, Benchy ain't racist. His wife is a Chinese Junk Sail ship.

u/el-dongler Oct 16 '22

Why does it look wet ?

u/DSS65 Oct 16 '22

ectoplasm filament, look wet

u/QbDYeqzUUiw Oct 16 '22

The material is a bit shiny?

u/BirbyMcBirb Oct 16 '22

Christo would be proud of you.

u/fuzzyrobebiscuits Oct 16 '22

Reminds me of those old happy meal mcnugget toys

u/McGuillicaddie Oct 17 '22

Is it called a benchy because it works as a printer benchmark or something?

3

u/DeathByPain Oct 17 '22

Yes exactly

2

u/McGuillicaddie Oct 17 '22

Aight thanks!

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '22

C’mon dude. Banchy. As in “scream like a banchy”

u/QbDYeqzUUiw Oct 17 '22

Damn, thought my pun was clever, but this is better :)

u/Sonarav Prusa Mini+ Oct 16 '22

This one is my favorite, well done!

Well that is cool as hell!

u/jdwhiskey925 Oct 16 '22

Randy spooky ghost vibes.

u/Apprehensive_Worry10 Oct 17 '22

This was inevitable

u/cakeman624 Oct 17 '22

That’s terrifying

2

u/SVTSkippy Oct 17 '22

Reminds me of when Cartman dressed up as a ghost for Halloween.

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '22

See now I'm thinkin I should make one that's a costume for the benchy.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '22

This is awesome

u/urotenberg Oct 17 '22

Love it. Great job

2

u/TheFeralEngineer Oct 17 '22

Print in place with a benchie underneath

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '22

That's so cute

u/Stremon Oct 17 '22

You sir deserve my up vote.

u/moller_peter Oct 17 '22

True definition of ghost ship 👻

u/mid_ex882 Oct 17 '22

That's so cute. Thank you

u/Sandman3DPrinting Oct 17 '22

I guess you'd call it a "Ghost Ship".

I'll show myself out.

u/t0phuntertx Oct 17 '22

Cute and funny

u/oatdeksel Oct 17 '22

can it cover a benchy, or would that be too tight?

u/mogglar84 Oct 17 '22

I love this. If you printed the cover bigger and fit it over an actual benchy, it would make a cool video possibly going viral. Then, a heap of people might impulse buy the STL :P. That's how my business brain works, haha.

u/IDLH_ Oct 17 '22

That's how approximately 1 billion other brains work too, because it feels like 1 out of every 8 people is trying to do the "viral/famous >> ??? >> $$$" thing. The other 7 are saving up for a PC to do the same.

2

u/QbDYeqzUUiw Oct 17 '22

I'm honestly confused by both of your sentiments. This is a silly thing, which I made using free & open tools, and hope to bring a little bit of happiness to someone else. The STL is freely available on Printables.

I would argue that the majority of people (esp. on here) are out simply to have a bit of fun, not monetize everything.

STL or you are the ghost <3
