Here’s a fun and functional twist on the classic Benchy! This 3D model is a detailed replica of a ship dry dock, complete with a miniature 0.75x Benchy finished being constructed. Designed as both a calibration tool and a display piece, this model showcases your printer’s capabilities while offering a unique nautical scene. Perfect for tuning your settings and showing off your prints in style!

Adhering to the original goal of a Benchy the boat dock features some challenges with many bridges and overhangs. Being an all in one print I knew that adding color to this diorama would significantly increase the print times. Alternatively I opted to use texture to give visual interest via fuzzy skin, ironing, and different top surface patterns. I think it looks great even in a single color. If you would like to customize all of the different assets are broken down and labeled in the object tab. 

My model was printed in overture matte PLA gray
