Give your Benchy prints a second life after they served their main purpose!
This Benchy can be used as a phone holder, business card holder, remote control holder and so much more. You could gift this print to anyone working in an office and it helps declutter their workspace.
With thousands if not tens of thousands of Benchies printed daily around the world for calibration and testing, the environmental impact adds up quickly. By giving each Benchy a useful second life we reduce plastic waste and make functional use of something that would otherwise gather dust.
Everyone who 3D prints should think about the long-term impact of their hobby, not just in terms of material cost but in environmental cost as well. Making utility a part of design from the beginning is one small but meaningful step toward more sustainable 3D printing practices.
This model demonstrates how easy it is to change a model to serve a useful purpose after its intended use if you care to think enough.
I invite you to try to think of other ways, how a Benchy could serve other purposes.
