SUPERIOR Articulated Fish Bones by dr_greenwall

Last crawled date: 2 years, 11 months ago

Massive props to StevenDuvall for laying a quality foundation for my remix effort based on his work
Intense and in-depth scientific market search has shown us that 95mm is the optimal length for a 3D printed articulated fish skeleton and that 9 sets of bones is greatly preferred to a cartoonish 6. This STL and its keychain variant are provided to you under a liberal CC agreement so that you can use them as you wish - even to print and sell them without bored neck-beard keyboard warriors trolling you about licensing particulars. Oh, BTW, bearded dragons suck ... it's just a lumpy gecko, pfftttt. Get a turtle, dude.
Remodeled the head aesthetics, beveled the new eyehole at 45deg to prevent potential injury - safety first, people
Rear of head altered to match new rib-bone arc
Remodeled the tail for improved aerodynamics if thrown
Removed all rib-bones and replaced with newly modelled ones at constant arc
Resized to an ideal ~95mm to reflect pure-science market research
Added keyring hook to alt STL
Cleaned up superfluous geometry

This STL includes at least 20% more love than all other articulated fish skeletons

0.200 layer height
2 shell walls
15% infill
No supports or raft
~95mm long, no post-processing
Comes off the plate moving freely!
Watch the first layer carefully and re-tune your .2mm profile to ensure a quality surface.
Should be resizable without any real tolerance issues
Tested on my Flashforge Adventurer 3, and I'll happily test it on a Prusa i3 Mk3S+ if Prusa wants to send me one.... any time, Prusa - there's no pressure.
My test print;
210c/67c @60mm/s (20mm/s base layer)
3rdAxis 1.75mm PLA @0.4mm nozzle
Used ~2.9m of filament, 57min print
Market test group; 2 autistic children, who loved them - even the 80mm prototype which has been named "Fishy". Why not? (True story)
Wow ... you got all the way to the bottom of the text! Honestly, who does that? Hey, if you sell a few of these buggers, why not drop me a tip via PayPal - I'm in a country that does not have access to paypal.me, but you could use my email address, wiredkiwi@gmail.com to do it manually. Cheers ;)
