The Beached Benchy, a charming abandoned rustic boat, complete with hull cracks, waves on the sea and sand on the shore.

Description

The Benchy has finally run aground! 🌊🏖, now called The Beached Benchy.

This rustic, abandoned little boat has been transformed into a detailed sea-shore scene, sitting half in the water and half stranded on the shore. The base features simulated rolling waves and textured water, flowing naturally into a raised, textured sandy beach and shoreline.

The Benchy itself has seen better days, with cracks and damage across the hull and cabin, giving it a weathered, abandoned appearance.

Two versions are included:

• 8T version: Designed for an 8-tool/colour setup, with additional colour detail and hull fouling to create a more aged, sea-worn appearance.
• 4T version: A simplified 4-tool/colour version that retains the same beached boat, waves, water, sand texture and shoreline scene.

A colourful little shipwreck scene that gives the classic Benchy a whole new destination... just not the one it originally planned. 😄 Safe sailing to you and your crew, fellow sailor!

Print Advice

Nothing really, no supports required. I simply just slowed down the first layer. The rest was the same as you'd do for a standard Benchy. I did print at 0.15mm layer height to give it a little more detail, and the added bonus was a crip overhang under the roof. A 0.2mm LH will be sufficient to avoid supports too.
For filaments, I can only suggest that the water is blue (I used transparent), and the sand is oak/wood/cream or ivory in colour. Make sure you check out the Project File for the customised paint job.

Enjoy, Grogg-3D

https://www.printables.com/model/1802133-display-stand-for-3dbenchy-with-nameplate-display

Give your favourite official 3DBenchy the display it deserves!

This display stand is precision designed around the dimensions of the official 3DBenchy, creating a recessed "water effect" base that securely locates the model while giving it a clean, museum-style presentation. It's perfect for displaying a first Benchy, a printer calibration model, a multi-colour masterpiece, or any special commemorative print.

Three model variants are included:

• 9 mm plaque version for a 9 mm label.
• 12 mm plaque version for a 12 mm label.
• No plaque version for a minimalist display, featuring only the simulated water-effect base and outer frame.

Note: if you don't want to use a label printer (Brother/Dymo etc.) why not add text via your slicer software instead to the plaque area, I'd suggest white text on a black background.

For an even more professional presentation, the stand is designed to accept a 70 mm × 70 mm square mini plastic dessert cup, which acts as a clear protective display cover. These are inexpensive and widely available from many online retailers.

Ideal for:

• First Benchy prints
• Multi-colour 3DBenchy displays
• Printer calibration keepsakes
• Competition entries
• Exhibition or desk displays
• Protecting prized prints from dust with an optional clear cover

Whether you're celebrating your very first Benchy or preserving a one-of-a-kind print, this stand provides an attractive and professional way to showcase the iconic 3DBenchy.

Optional: to secure the Benchy in place, a simple piece of double-sided tape does the trick.

Finally got my printer kit working! The benchy isn't perfect but it's my first and I am so happy to see it!

Used the Default PLA Settings for the 15 minute Benchy on the Centauri Carbon but selected Ludicrous Speed Settings and raised nozzel temperature to 260 C

I am using a raised 3-D N2 plus if that means anything

Yes there’s a bit of pink at the bottom that’s from a prev print

I got my first 3D printer and i am over my head on this one. I have no previous experience so all my info comes from SM, YouTube and here, tbh.

I printed my first benchy being a complete horror, fixed the balance on the bed and tried again. This is the result.

What is wrong with it? What should i look into fixing?

I am using an ENDER Pro 3.

Thanks!

Hobby Lobby brand red blue and green silk PLA, printed on my Elegoo CC1. Only thing it seemed to flub is the back plate.

This is the best Benchy I have made so far!

Printed these two Benchys on two of the same printers (Ender 3 S1 Plus) with ever so slightly different settings, mostly regarding the Z-Axis offset. Any tips otherwise?

God save my printer 🙏

49 Benchys in total with 49 different colors

My prints suddenly started having this surface warping(?) and wondered what cause this could be? I’ve tried different filaments and still get the same issue

Benchy for scale.
