3DBenchy Chimney

I had a blast testing the 3D print limits of 3DBenchy, a fantastic troubleshooting tool that's sure to put even the most robust printers to the test. One thing that gave me fits was getting the chimney stack just right – it wasn't until the very end of the print that I could verify whether slicer changes were making a real difference or not. To speed up the troubleshooting process, I decided to cut out the roof and chimney so I could quickly get to the root of the problem. Big thanks to 3DBenchy for creating such an awesome torture test object – check it out at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:763622.
