“If you’re going to run calibration tests with a Benchy, why not make it float?

We kept Benchy’s iconic silhouette intact and simply tweaked the print settings and model structure to get it to stay afloat—no visible alterations required!

• Balanced Infill for Stability
  By using very low infill on the top half and high infill on the bottom half, we achieve perfect balance and stability.

  Lower infill also raises the bar on your calibration test. 

• Hollowed Bottom for Extra Lift
  We hollowed out the hull’s belly to fine‑tune its buoyancy, so it floats rock‑steady. 

  With minimal contact on the bottom, your printer’s precision really gets challenged!

Print it out and see how it floats in your bathtub or pond!
