Every new 3d printer comes with a Benchy model as a test print. I think the print should pause and allow the user to either line the bottom with steel ball bearings or decline, so that you can build a floating Benchy.

I swear I didn't think I had to look, and then the first Benchy link I pull from 'images' is the idea I'm posting. |
|

Bun for learning about Benchy after all these years of 3D printing stuff with no knowledge of that cute little calibration tugboat. |
|
| |
I knew about Benchy a log time ago. I joined a a Makers group and we built 3d printers from kits. Of the twenty kits only 2 of them worked. One of them was mine. |
|
| |
I was recently gifted a bambu lab printer. Benchy was the go-to test print... and I just wanted it to float... |
|
| |
I just think it's cool that it's already a thing and I had no idea. |

Technically I always assumed it was a waterline model, such that when sitting on a table or other horizontal plane surface, said surface represents the surface of the water in which the model is represented as floating. Therefore the actually buoyant version would have an extended underwater section, presumably more bulbous at the front and slenderer at the rear. The curved profile of the underwater section is important in creating a stable vessel, in that the curved underwater shape can ensure that the centre of buoyancy is above the centre of gravity. Also I would imagine that the engine of such a vessel would be towards the rear, helping to counterbalance the ridiculously oversized wheelhouse. So your lead weights could be placed there in the absence of printer noxxles that extrude solid lead. |

Well, yes, but it is basically an x-y-z- axis test print with no buoyancy features... I tried to figure out how to make Benchy float. |
|
| |
Even if the model were to turn turtle would it still float? |
|
| |
Okay, so Make Benchy Float upright? |
|
| |
State that Benchy self-identifies as an upright watercraft regardless of appearance. |

When I first got sent the letters ,numbers, and quotation marks for our marquee sign I didn't think twice. |

One side said:
Stay One Night For The Price Of Three, Get Your Second Night Absolutely Free. |
|
| |
The amount of idiots wanting a second night's stay free over and over again made me change it. |
|
| |
The other side of the sign said: |
|
| |
I Identify As A video Screen.... |
|
| |
Which set my wife off and I told her that my; White Lives Matter sign was next unless people just stopped telling me what I can and can not do because they feel offended. |
|
| |
Why should I give a shit? |
|
| |
Nobody cares if I am offended. Why should I care if they are? |

... because Engels' version of Hegel's dialectic is broken. Sorry. As mentioned elsewhere, I'm trying to fix it, but I don't know if it'll work. In the meantime, don't forget to breathe; it's just humans being human: try not to judge them too harshly. |
