=Basics=
*The 3DBenchy, often reffered to as simply a "benchy" is a standard test print done for calibration purposes (Both of 3D Printers, and/or for a Material Used in One)
*It combines many aspects of 3D Printing Challenges allowing for many potential issues to be spotted in one print
*It also has the aesthetic of a Small Toy Tugboat
**This makes them less of a "Print, Look Over, then Throw Away", and more of a "Put on a Shelf" for some, however compared to more minimialistic Calibration Prints it uses more material and Machine Time

=Analysis=
*One can look for obvious errors like [[Stringing (FDM 3D Printing Artifact) ]] , Layer Shifts, [[Underextrusion]] / [[Overextrusion]] ,  the charachteristic Bubbles/Degradedation from Wet FDM 3D Printing Filament etc
*Also as detailed in [https://www.3dbenchy.com/dimensions/ A Section of The Project's Website] ,  Various Dimentions/Angles can be checked
**Someone who's good at embedding this feel free to do so, would make for a quicker reference!

=As a Speed Record=
*It is often used as a metric for not just how well a printer can print, but also at what speed it does so
*A project around this was created called [[#SpeedBoatRace]] (Although "Speed Benchy" and similar terms are also used)
*In the more Extreme Examples, something more akin to a "Benchy Like Object" is created due to various artifacts, but nonetheless most Speedbenchies by [[Fast 3D Printers]] are below 15 minutes, and some are below 5 minutes!
*Really interesting example of [[Competitions as Technology Accelorators]] that has lead to some very interesting designs with Novel Cooling Mechanisms
