Description
"All aboard the Benchy Express!" 🚂🛳️
To celebrate 10 years of the beloved Benchy, I present you with Trainchy – a remix that reimagines the classic tugboat as a charming little locomotive!
Because after a decade of floating, maybe Benchy wanted to ride the rails for a change.
Printed in vibrant colors and full of character, Trainchy keeps the playful spirit of the original while chugging into new terrain.
Imagine if the Benchy was a train? Now you don’t have to.
Happy 10th, Benchy – and here’s to many more years of creative remixes! 🥳
Bonus Benchmarks:
While it’s cute and collectible, Trainchy also rolls in with a few unique print challenges:
🔸 The tall smokestack is only 1 wall thick, making it a great test of vertical stability and fine extrusion.
🔸 The undercarriage requires supports, giving you a perfect look at how your printer handles support scarring.
🔸 The detailed wheels feature varied angles, making them excellent overhang tests to see where your printer thrives (or struggles).
🔸 Several cylindrical features throughout are ideal for testing circular precision and layer alignment, especially at smaller layer heights.
So whether you're printing for fun or performance tuning, Trainchy's got a track for everyone! 🚂✨
Happy 10th Birthday, Benchy! 🛳️
And thank you, Daniel Norée & Paulo Kiefe, for inspiring a decade of creativity.
