  • Just because the benchy was designed to be used as a calibration tool doesn’t mean people shouldn’t be able to do whatever they want with it. If a print a benchy with The Rock’s face on it I’m not gonna go to their website and be like “omg it looks different why???” Also the model is a solid 3d model, it isn’t presliced, so the only thing a manufacturer could do to make a benchy “look better” on their printer would be to make it visibly different than the original, which… See above.

    Like I get what you’re saying, standardization is important for tools like this, but if someone wants to calibrate their printer it’s not like it’s difficult to get the original benchy and run your test. If they were just removing models that are nearly identical but with small tweaks I’d be more likely to agree, but they’re removing artwork and gag models that could never be mistaken or passed off as the original.

    It’d be like banning children’s toys that look like tools because someone might try to build a house with a plastic ruler.



  • It looks to me like your printer is printing on slightly melted plastic. I don’t use orca or a Bambu, so I don’t know if you’re able to do this, but I would try printing that section slower, or changing the minimum layer time. It looks like that’s a small cross section so it’s probably finishing the layer and starting the next before the previous one has cooled down.
