Why did my Benchy fail?

Benchy will fail at the arches if you don't have the first layer adhesion working properly. Do learn to do a live-z adjustment (post initial Z calibration). The calibration step gets you ready to adjust Z - which you will have to do fairly often (filament brand change, material type change, color change, etc).

What causes Benchy Hull line?

We believe that the main culprit is the sudden transition from sparse infill into full top layers around the 8 mm height (may vary a bit depending on your layer height and number of top layers). At this point, there is an abrupt difference in the time a layer takes to print.

Why is Benchy hard to print?

The boat has lots of little features that can be hard to print: arch ways, cylinders, overhangs, smooth surfaces, tiny details, and horizontal holes. The tiny tugboat's small size also means you can print one fairly quick and it doesn't use a lot of material. Benchy takes about 13g of filament on my set up.
