I might not win the contest… but hey, at least I brought the cake!

For the 10th Anniversary of the legendary 3DBenchy, I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than with a sweet-themed remix of the iconic boat — turned into a full-on birthday cake!

I created each piece from scratch so it can be printed in any color combination you like — the version you see here is just one possibility among many.

Technical details:

The project is split across 6 print plates

Total filament used: around 250g

Total print time: approx. 13h 30min

The longest single print is the one with the multicolored piping details, about 5 hours – but you can totally go for a single-color version if you prefer

I've tried to include clear photos and videos showing how to assemble everything — pay close attention to the order of assembly! You’ll need some super glue, and it’s best to have all pieces printed before starting the build.

Hope you like this sweet remix of the classic Benchy, and fingers crossed… maybe the cake will bring me luck!
