Print the Benchy and have fun with three fidget toys inbuilt in the most famous model ever!
Hello! This is my improved Fidget Benchy. Still the same fidgets, but now with much higher print reliability. I changed design of two toys which were the most problematic ones - lever and funnel.
You can see what I improved in the pictures here:
The new version has much bigger spring, which ensures higher print quality of the funnel and the funnel also finally works as a button, as I originally intended. The biggest benefit - funnel is no longer brittle.
New version has a bit wider lever which minimalizes posibility of breaking it. It also has wider tolerance on the bottom, fighting that way against elephant foot. Clicks are also louder. And the last advantage - there is more space to add your own favorite fidget toy in the front. And even if you choose to keep it non-edited - you don't need brim anymore, because you have more contact with print bed.

I strongly recommend prining 3mf version - it has painted brim location which ensures the spring won't be brittle. If you insist on stl then do this with the seam painter:
I'm completely open to remixes of the model. There is now a free space in front of the Benchy - you can fill it! Or you can make your own version of Benchy with fidget toys totally different from my own. But if you want to remix this one, you have the blend file included.
