BEN the floating BENCHMARK (Benchy)

myminifactory

I absolutely adore the original Benchy, but it's always been a shame that it can't swim. Having designed a few ships myself, I decided to attempt drawing a small, floating benchmark boat. Of course, it's not built for long-distance sailing, but I aimed to keep its print time as close to the original as possible. I incorporated some of the original's features while replacing others. If you'd like to try printing this design and share your results, I'd love to see how it turns out. Notably, Ben barely stays afloat, but I managed to maintain a similar print time to Benchy. Here is the blueprint for you to test: [link] If you appreciate my designs and would like to support me, please consider becoming a patron or tipping me. Creating accurate 1:1000 scale models is a labor-intensive process that requires significant research and drawing time. Your help would be greatly appreciated!
