Description
Aren't you tired of even the cheapest printers arriving at your home and producing a Benchy first-time? Sure, it might not be perfect, but it's hardly a true failure. Don't you long for the days when owning a 3d printer meant splitting your print time 50/50 between producing things you want and calibration models? Don't you pine for the days when engineering knowledge was needed to make meaningful adjustments to a printer? The kids have it too easy and you want them to suffer, like you had to, right? No…? Oh. Well, you'll hate this model, then. Revisit the heady days of unpacking your printer, putting it together, and swearing profusely every couple hours when the latest Benchy comes out looking like you glued it together in a darkened room! Test your (far too good) printer harder than ever before, with long overhanging perimeters simulating layer shifts. The best part? Even if you print this model perfectly, it looks like another failure! And if there was layer shifting, how would you even know!? Demoralizing. Ugly. Pointless. DOWNLOAD TODAY!! UPDATED 26/02/2025: I was kindly informed that this disappointment of a Benchy was, ironically, disappointing. And it was! Far too easy. Far too kind. Well, now you can choose from two NEW versions! Misery - More layer shifting! More floating perimeters! More frustration! It's the gift that keeps on taking. Despair - To really give you that Benchy experience from 5 years ago, simulated curling lends the bottom of this Benchy that classic, "WTF, why isn't it sticking?!” appeal we all know and love (assuming you harbor the same deep-seated self-loathing that I do). Join me in sacrificing filament to the God of Failure. Raise a broken Benchy to the heavens and cry out “WHY!?” and curse the day you ever brought that 3d-printing fire hazard into your home. Then go and get a cup of coffee and reflect on the many mistakes in your life that led you to print an artificially-borked plastic boat.
