Presenting the Floppy Sperm Whale!

This is a print-in-place, articulated sperm whale. If you keep infill % low it floats, and can be used as a bathtub playtoy! Or just place it on a curved surface or with its tail hanging off a mantle to display it in all its articulated glory! I won't judge you whatever your reasons are for printing this whale. 

 

Model is about 190mm long (7.5 inches), 25mm tall, and 60mm wide including fins and tail.

I have tested it scaled down to 75% (5.5inches long), and the articulated joints worked just fine. 50% might be too tight for the tolerances. Scaling the model up in size shouldn't cause any problems.

No rafts or supports. Prints in place.
