About this print
OpenVessel is an open source model boat designed as a test and calibration print for 3D printers. It is typically used to assess print quality and examine how a machine handles boat shaped geometry and overhangs. The completed object can serve as a repeatable benchmark when comparing settings, materials or printers. PLA is a sensible material for this print because it is widely used, prints reliably and makes calibration results easy to inspect.
