BEN the floating BENCHMARK (Benchy)

thingiverse

I love the original benchy so much, and I'm thrilled to see how many of us share that passion. The only thing I wish it could do is swim. Since I've had a blast drawing ships, I decided to try creating a small, floating benchmark boat. It's not seaworthy, but I wanted to stay close to the printing time of the original. Here's my design: Some parts are taken from the original benchy, while others have been replaced. If you'd like to test it yourself and share your results, I'd be thrilled! One thing to note: BEN swims very briefly, but I managed to keep the print time close to the benchy.

Researching and drawing 1:1000 scale models can be particularly time-consuming. That's why I'd love to see if there are any enthusiastic fans out there who appreciate my work and want to support me. Your help would mean the world!
