Ben was my first dog. My parents brought him into our family when I was just three years old, and he went on to live to the incredible age of eighteen. He was there for almost my entire childhood, so when I think back to growing up, Ben is part of so many of those memories.

I had quite a lonely childhood at times, and Ben meant more to me than I could ever properly put into words. Whenever I felt alone, upset or just needed some company, he was there. He never judged, never asked questions — he just stayed close. Sometimes a cuddle from Ben was all I needed to feel a little better.

He gave me companionship, comfort and a sense of security during some of the years when I needed it most. He wasn’t simply a pet — he was my friend, my constant companion and a huge part of growing up. ❤️🐾

Today his name lives on at Maxi3DCustoms through Benjamin — or Ben for short — our ELEGOO Centauri Carbon 2. Benjamin is our FDM detail specialist, with a finer nozzle than Odessa, making him ideal for smaller and more intricate filament prints.
