Description

The "Chimmney-less" Efficiency Benchy (4-Size Value Pack) We all love the Benchy, but let’s be honest: you don’t always need the chimney to know if your prints are looking good. By removing the unnecessary chimney and offering four distinct sizes, this model is designed to save you time, filament, and frustration. This is the perfect "quick check" model for testing new filament colors, checking bed adhesion, or verifying your cooling settings on a time crunch. What’s in the Pack? I’ve pre-scaled these models so you don't have to fiddle with percentages in your slicer: 100% (The Classic): The standard footprint for a full calibration check. 75% (The Sweet Spot): Great detail, significantly faster than the original. 50% (The Speedster): Perfect for a "gut check" on a new spool of filament. 25% (The Micro): A tiny "token" print to test your printer's extreme precision and retraction. Why Print This? No Chimney: Reduces vertical print time and eliminates a common failure point if you're only worried about the hull and cabin. Filament Savings: Significant reduction in plastic usage, especially at the smaller scales. Speed: Get your results in a fraction of the time of a standard Benchy. Comparison: Use the different sizes to see how your printer handles different levels of detail and cooling. Print Settings: Supports: None (as per Benchy tradition!). Infill: 10% is plenty. Wall Count: 2-3 walls for the best exterior finish. Pro-Tip: The 25% version is a great way to test how well your nozzle handles tiny details!
