Tried a slightly different 2 colour #3DBenchy and still got a layer shift at the colour transition. Will have to try and find out why this happens.

Ah, the classic 3D Benchy! 🚤 Unraveling the mysteries of why your tiny boat looks like it survived a shipwreck! 🤔 Spoiler alert: It’s either your printer or you. Happy fixing, Captain! ⚓

I have another model to share, and this one was quite an adventure! I wanted to display my #3DBenchy prints in a #Gridfinity arrangement, but I was not satisfied with the very sparse offerings online. I thought, "I'll just take the Benchy model and the Gridfinity solid bin model, use a Cut operation in #FreeCAD, and be done with it!" What hubris; what naievete!
I wound up needing to slice the model in #Blender, since FreeCAD choked on the number of triangles in the mesh... so I had to learn how to use Blender (or at least a tiny corner of it) for boolean operations to cut the model down to just its bottom 3mm. Then, it turns out, I had to edit the resulting mesh to remove the inlet hole in Benchy's stern and text on its bottom face by dissolving vertices and replacing faces. I learned a fair amount about loose and non-manifold geometry, I tell you what!
Next up was a full-blown escapade coming up with a decent workflow in FreeCAD for working with STL parts *and* Part Design. Quite the headache, but it's nearly rote memory at this point and I'm getting pretty smooth with it. I took a solid Gridfinity bin from an online generator, sliced extra material off the top with a Pocket operation, embedded the Benchy slice in its top face, and used a Cut to hollow out a groove for Benchy to sit in. Voila! However, I wasn't satisfied... I wanted to have an entire row--nay, a MATRIX--of Benchies to display in my grid.
My first attempts used FreeCAD to splice multiples of the 1x1 model together by padding the gaps between them vertically and horizontally using designed Pads. This worked _okay_ for 2x1 and 3x1, but when I got to 4x1, FreeCAD would just explode with cryptic errors or leave me with an empty shape and no errors/warnings at all. I had seen other generators online use #OpenSCAD, so I figured I would give it a shot. It felt a bit like stabbing in the dark with Blender, except without any sort of UI.
I eventually came up with a (hacky? elegant? hamfisted?) solution using an OpenSCAD script to arrange the 1x1 tile, horizontal/vertical pads, and a secret new third padding mesh I had to create to fill the 0.5mm square gap left where the horizontal/vertical gaps do not overlap when 4 corners touch.
And it works!

I just printed a pretty good looking #3dBenchy in under an hour. 58 minutes! Acceleration settings make a huge difference.

I can even read the #3dBenchy text on the stern! Not bad for a $200 printer (with mods).

I am playing with a 0.25mm nozzle for the first time. So I had to try a mini #3Dbenchy. I tried half scale, a third scale and a quarter scale. To my surprise all came out well. So tiny! #3dprinting
