Description
164,5 x 65,75 x 42,7 mm (100% scale)
Print in place articulated Hammerhead shark. The model was inspired by the Great hammerhead shark, the largest species of all hammerhead sharks. It can grow up to the lenght of aprox. 6 m (20 ft), and the largest specimen can weigh up to 500 kg (1 100 lbs)! The spectacular appearance of the Great hammerhead is just a cherry on the top. But you don't need to worry, this guy is a friendly fella, and no growth, or increase in its appetite has been observed so far!
The body is divided into 6 movable articulated segments, which grant the model with lifelike movement, and a high range of flexibility.
You can choose from total of 2 files: .3mf (recommended); .stl (for slicer compatibility issues);
PLA

None. The model was designed not to require any support material.
Possible, the model was tested up to 50% of the original size, upscaling shouldn't have any limitations. However, If your machine isn't calibrated properly, has accuracy problems, or if you're dealing with filament issues, downscaling isn't recommended. When downscaling, proceed cautiously, and don't go too crazy, unless you want to risk mobility related issues. When printing a downscaled version, adjust layer height in proportion to the scale.
Default, laid flat on the belly
Not necessary, contact area with the buildplate should be sufficient. If your print surface suffers from poor adhesion, consider using some adhesive spray, or other kind of adhesion booster. Using brim is possible, but not recommended, as it would be difficult, and inconvenient to remove afterwards.
You can add a color change into your gcode and print the belly in a different color, to make the print look even cooler!
