Now that Benchy’s are off the market, what are your go to test models? I’ve seen Cali Cat and the torture toaster as examples.

    For a benchmarks designed to test printer performance, isn’t this a good thing? Allowing derivative works would allow a printer manufacturer to modify a benchy model to best suit their printer’s strengths, potentially defeating the purpose.

    It would be one thing to try to charge people for benchy, but that’s not happening. This sort of seems reasonable? Or am I wrong?

      The problem is they’ve been going after parody derivatives. Think of someone taking it and putting arms on it, or putting Steamboat Willy at the wheel.
