May I name this piece of art? From now on let’s call it:
„The sourcecode“
It reminds me of the spaghetti code I create at work 😁
What is it?
I’m gonna dub this print the Poopy.
A squiggly
Getting r/amightyharvest vibes.
It’s lovely! I should make some!
It’s a lovely ear ring! 😍
Is art your full-time job or is just a gift you were given.
Nice, I’ve always wanted one of those
good start to your new collection of abstract art
You know, everyone I see uses that tug boat print for their calibration, but what you made here was far more intricate and beneficial.
How did tug boat become the standard test print? Wouldnt car or eifel tower have the same curves/arches/height for all the test things?
Nobody knows.
JK
I think it’s because Benchy has a crazy amount of changing surfaces and is easily printable with or without supports, scales better, and doesn’t take terribly long to print.
The answer isn’t glamorous, “because someone made it, and it works well.”
Also the “3DBenchy_Broschure_3DBenchy.pdf” file it comes with is helpful.
The short answer is someone designed it specifically to demonstrate calibration across different printing conditions and it took off in no small part because it’s cute and can serve as a filament sample.
This. If you really know the tugboat, you know almost every detail is a test of some sort. Many people don’t even know that 2 fit together perfectly(flip one upside down and rotate 180° - the smoke stacks fit into the box behind the cabin and they interlock)
Send me the STL file please
Typical novice. Wasting tons of plastic on their first print.

You can teach these other fools here a thing or two. Good on you, mate! Lol
The poop must flow!
