Benchy in a Bottle

October 30, 2024
Description
Benchy in a bottle, you can print this with no. AMS!
There are two bottle designs included, both created with “Make my Vase”. Print the Benchy first, it has an added hole in the back for mounting it. Then print the bottle, the print will pause just before the bottle narrows to allow you to put the Benchy on the mounting post. resume the print and you're done. Now just print the display stand and let people wonder how that ship got in there.
The mounting post and Benchy should fit well if printed in the same material on the same printer. The post is tapered and once you press the Benchy home firmly it's not going to come off easily. If you print in differing materials then I suggest you print the included fit test to make sure the post and hole will work together before proceeding with the full bottle.
The pictured examples are PLA (black with white ship) and PETG (clear with translucent orange ship)
The Voronoi bottle will need well calibrated filament to get the overhangs right and is a somewhat tricky print.
