All credit for the original model to lostinlmbo. I just cut, cut, cut, rotated, and pasted a bit in Tinkercad.
So my brother tells me that my nephew is currently infatuated with things that have 3 heads, and also with sharks. And the young man would like a 3-headed shark. Can I print one? Sure, if I can find one.
Nope.
So I borrowed a decent Great White model, cut it up, removed some extra fins, rotated the extra heads.
Then I pictured printing it. Yuck. Support Hades. So I cut it in half. Then I remembered that the nephew can be a bit rough on things & figured gluing the halves together might not suffice. So I put some square holes in the model, added a square peg to match, and booyah! Easy-print 3-headed shark.
First print failed in a power outage, but not before printing far enough for me to test fit the peg. It IS a tight fit, but that's a good thing. May not even need glue. If you find the peg to be a bit too tight for your tastes, I'd suggest downsizing in your slicer by maybe .1mm in all directions.
***Note: Tinkercad is not a hyper-accurate CAD program, so the front & back halves of the split model are a 99 44/100% pure fit. Not quite perfect, but certainly close enough for a 6 year old kid who just wants a 3-headed shark. Heck, if I handed it to most adults, they'd probably overlook the very, very minor fitment imperfections. (Based on the aborted print I test fit together)
