Benchy is that cute little boat that everyone uses to calibrate their 3D printer. [Emily The Engineer] asked the obvious question—why isn’t it a real working boat? Then she followed through on the ...

We’ve said it before, but we cast a wary eye at any superlative claims that come our way. “World’s fastest” or “world’s first” claims always seem to be quickly debunked, but when the claim of “World’s ...

Love it or hate it, the 3DBenchy is an icon in the 3D printing world. Devised in 2015 as a free printer calibration tool, the little boat has seen millions of downloads across several 3D printing file ...

Watch as a classic 3D-printing test model becomes a full-size, rideable boat. This oversized Benchy pushes printer limits, engineering creativity, and buoyancy to the extreme. #3dprinting #benchy ...

With lots of confusion over how to change 3D printer settings, a little rest from learning more on how to use the software seemed in order. So option 4 from yesterday seemed a good idea – print ...

Physicists at Leiden University in the Netherlands have 3D printed what could be the world’s smallest boat, a test object known as Benchy (via Gizmodo). At 30 microns long, it’s a third smaller than ...

Researchers at Leiden University have 3D printed the smallest boat in the world: a 30-micrometer copy of Benchy the tug boat, a well-known 3D printer test object. This boat is so small, it could float ...

It looks like researchers at Leiden University really enjoy their work. As part of exploratory research on microswimmers, like bacteria, the team 3D-printed several shapes outside of the spherical ...
