Machine Top Benchy Boat Dock

This is a small 4-slot Benchy dock you can use with your printer, desk, or really anywhere you want to display your Benchys. I originally designed this because I needed a quick way to see what color filament was loaded in each of my printers from my cameras. I keep a TAPO cam on each machine plus one overhead view, but I could never remember which printer had which color loaded. While slicer software (Bambu and Anycubic) shows filament assignments, it’s not always convenient depending on what I’m doing. My solution was simple: I keep a Benchy printed in every filament color I own. When I pull that color from storage, I place the matching Benchy in the dock slot on the machine it’s loaded into. That way I can check the camera feed anytime and instantly see which printer is running which color. Of course, you can use this for whatever you’d like. It’s a clean little platform for displaying Benchys or other small models, and I’d love to see what creative uses you come up with for it.
