A simple little shelf to hold a collection of Benchies.
As our filament collection grows, I was inspired by http://greybeard3d.com/, not so much to create a collection of colors, but rather samples of different filaments we've gotten and used so we can look back and see which we'd re-buy, or not.
I opted to use a scaled down and modified 3DBenchy instead of the common Marvin, since Benchy shows off stringing, bridging, etc. Scaled down so it prints faster with less filament, and a modified bottom that's flat so I can write numbers on it.
We use a simple Google sheet to keep track of which Benchy# corresponds to which filament, type, where we bought it, etc.
I then needed a place to put the Benchies, and an excuse to start to learn how to design. Several iterations later, this came to be. I tried to make it as thin as practical to take less time to print. Each one takes about an hour, depending on your slicer/printer settings.
