Benchy the Tug

This is based on my RC tug model roughly at 1:220 scale.

At 0.10 it took me about 4 hours on my MK3S.

I always got frustrated by the famous 3DBenchy as it does not really look like a boat. But that's me!

This is a torture test because some areas are printed … into thin air! (like the lower hull or the spray rails). Even more so the long holes in the gunwale (that allow the water to flush from the deck in a rough sea).

The propellers blades are one perimeter thin and “grow” into the air and we count on 2 such blades to provide enough support for the propeller shaft that will start off one single perimeter line that is a … bridge.

So, you'll be able to see how far you can push the limits. 

If you are not careful, plenty of stringing will happen (propellers, cabin, masts etc.).

The deck is not horizontal so you should see layer steps.

My second make (with a lower temp) was a little better but I've still got way too much stringing …

Good printing/experimenting.

Tell me how you fared and what settings did you tweak…
