The #3DBenchy model usually capsizes in water, but I found that with the right slicer settings, it will actually float upright: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6076719

I've gotten it to float upright with surface tension before using some custom slicing in Cura. But once the inside gets wet, it no longer stays up.

I basically did 100% on the bottom aft, and 8% everywhere else. Still doesn't float that well.
