Printing a Benchy

[alan0043]

Hi Everyone,

I have been playing around with my printer. I thought it is time to print out a Benchy. I printed one out with supports. I tried to remove the supports from the inside of the cab and cracked off the roof of the Benchy. When you print a Benchy out, do you use supports or no supports ? I also had 20% infill. Any other tips I should look at ?

Thanks for any input,
Al

Benchy should be printed without support material. I tend to use a lower infill on things that don't need to be strong, but 20% is good.

Thanks Trey,

I'll give it a try.

Same, 20% infill with no supports. Sounds like you are having layer adhesion issues.

Hi Guys,

A little update on the Benchy. The Benchy without supports turned out good.
