I made this because I was tired of everyone asking "Does it float?".

"Yes, yes it does!"

The hole was designed to hold an old nozzle for a balancing weight but can be swapped for any 6mm item if you want to balance it lighter.

You're going to have to superglue this to the bottom of your benchy and make sure to glue all the way around leaving no gaps for water to leak through. If you don't have an old nozzle laying around, go ahead and buy yourself some new ones because its time to replace the one you're printing with.

Printing:

I printed at 0.2 layer height and 50mm/s speed, 0.4 nozzle, used glue stick.
