Sounds like a good time for a whole new benchmark model to rise to the new standard.
It would be nice for the teapot to make a comeback, since it used to be used to benchmark 3d computer graphics
The Utah Teapot.
I always wondered why someone from Utah would model a teapot. After all, it’s not very American. But now that I’ve just done some digging…
Martin Edward Newell is a British-born computer scientist specializing in computer graphics who is perhaps best known as the creator of the Utah teapot computer model.
Everything is clear to me now lol
Yeah, if it was a Utahn, it would probably be a soda cup.

Mormons drink lots of herbal (caffeine-free) tea.
It doesn’t have enough sharp edges, overhangs, etc that make the benchy useful to tuning and evaluating a 3D printer
Those could be added.
Put a window in that teapot!
What’s needed is more like a carburetor.
Stupid fuckers. I hope nobody uses the benchy any more.

Just build a new tugboat but make it .5mm smaller or bigger…heck make it both, .5mm less tall and .5mm longer, call it 3DBonchy and make it public.
Printables, thingiverse et al should just remove benchy. Then they won’t have to worry about copies.
