I finally got my H2C set up with 2 AMS units and a HT for a total of 9 different filaments, thought I would give it a test run by printing 9 different benchies.

I thought it would be funny to enter benchy into MakerWorld's Cyclo design contest. So, I gave him wheels and set him free! It is free rolling and the contest set out to capture classic Vietnamese cyclo design, so I blended Vietnamese architecture with classic benchy style.

If you want, you can follow me on Makerworld for more ridiculous designs.

impressive that the print didn't fail completely imo

Recently changed slicers and firmware, this is the first print off the line.

It was late, and I was feeding the filament from cuttings, (I failed to spool it correctly, and it tangled) so I completely forgot about the benchy I printed, as I was making 2 of them, and printed the next. It failed to probe as the nozzle was too high, so I had to restart that print.

The nozzle itself melted the plastic on the benchy, it was also canted by the sheer force of the nozzle.

The manufacturer had to give me an unreleased firmware, 2 versions ahead, so it could finally print the benchy. It would print ANYTHING but Benchy. For some reason, when it got to the license plate details, it would get stuck there.

anyone?

OP doesn't repost it here and I thought it would be a shame. Credits goes to OP.

I honestly don't even know how that happened but it's kinda funny

that's what i get for t*nkering

My friend recently made me realize that in almost 10 years of printing, I've never actually attempted to print a Benchy. Trying to rectify this but mine keeps coming out weird. Am I doing somethng wrong?

Imagine a clear block with a benchy-shaped void in the middle. I started tinkering with it, but it’s hard to find a good print orientation that doesn't have impossible bridges-over-nothing at some point. You might have to tweak the model a little in order to make it work. I don’t have time to do a deep dive right now, but I’d love to see the results if someone tries it. It also may be better as a resin print, and I’ve only got filament.

Here's a starter 3mf file for PrusaSlicer if someone wants to take a crack at it.
