BenchyBuddy

🧭 Benchy Buddy – The Articulating Test Boat A playful and functional remix of the classic #3DBenchy that can sit or stand with poseable, print-in-place legs. Designed to preserve all original torture-test features while adding tolerance testing and steeper overhangs at the bow—perfect for pushing your printer’s limits. 🧩 Extra Features Print-in-place, no supports required Push-to-stand, pull-to-sit leg mechanism Steep front angles for added overhang challenge Built-in tolerance test at joints Works with standard PLA—avoid silk/matte for stronger legs 🔗 Based on the original: 3DBenchy – The jolly 3D printing torture-test 🔧 How to Switch Modes To Stand ➡️ Fold the legs into the standing position. Then push each leg firmly inward until it locks against the body. The Benchy will now stand tall! To Sit ⬅️ Gently pull the legs outward and fold them flat under the hull. Your Benchy Buddy is now ready to relax! 📝 Tip: Wiggle the legs slightly on first use to loosen the joints after printing.
