Benchy Dockyard 46, 54, or 56 Display Rack / Stand / Storage / Holder

Yes, the world needed yet another Benchy display rack.

There are some nice designs out there…but I wanted to display as many Benchys as I could, in the smallest space possible, on my desk. I did not want to mount anything to the walls, or my printer cabinet, etc. I also wanted the little boats to be somewhat secure. 

Each frame holds 23, 27, or 28 Benchys…so, you can put 46, 54, or 56 of these little guys in the Benchy Dockyard. The Dockyards measure approximately 6” deep x 6.25” (46) or 7.5" (56) wide x 12” tall.

You will need 1 base (variations available), 2 frames, 1 top plate (or 1 handle for the 56 version), and as many clips as you would like/want/need to stabilize the frames and/or to add a bit of accent color.

The handle (for the 56 version) and the 7mm clips fit on top in between the Benchys if the top plate is not used.

If you prefer a cleaner look, the top plate (which incorporates clips) can be used with the top plate handle (on the 56 version). Print this handle a bit stronger - perhaps with 4 walls and 25% infill.

The 24mm clips fit on the sides as shown in the pics. 

The frames slide into the base with a little force. The Benchys are inserted by tilting them upwards and slipping the back of the boat (stern) into their slot. They “hook” in with their little fishing rod holder. The Benchys will hang close to each other, so adding more to your Dockyard may require you to remove some to slip new ones in.

You may choose to use a little bit of glue to keep entire assembly together.

Printed with Overture Cream Orange and Matte Black PLA.

Tolerances are reasonable, but much will depend on your printer setup.

*** 12-30-2025 Dockyard 54 Added ***

This configuration was added at a maker's request to allow frames to sit side-by-side creating a "wall" of Benchys. It uses the base from the Dockyard 56 version and the top plate from the Dockyard 46 version. Common parts apply. Recommended to utilize 2 frames for stability even if you choose to use only one side in a "wall" configuration. (See illustration.)
