Design Concept

This playful design merges the classic 3D printing benchmark “Benchy” with an octopus, featuring articulated tentacles. It showcases the intricate possibilities of FDM 3D printing.

Purpose

The Benchy Octopus serves as both a fun desk toy and a test model for evaluating complex, articulated 3D printing capabilities.

Printing Advice

For optimal results, ensure proper bed adhesion because the tentacles must print without supports. A layer height of 0.2mm is recommended to emphasize details in the model.

Assembly Instructions

The model should be printed as a single piece with articulated tentacles. No assembly is necessary.
