3D printing settings

3DBenchy is designed to offer a large array of challenging geometrical features for 3D printers, and touch on different issues related to additive manufacturing.

The 3D model is designed to print at 1:1 scale without support materials. It is challenging for most 3D printers but the small volume (15.55 cm3) typically prints in well under two hours and does not require much material.

The different surfaces of the #3DBenchy model reveal typical issues regarding surface finish, model accuracy, warping, etc.
