• Material: [PLA / PETG / ABS]. Note: If you plan to actually use this in the water, PETG or ASA is recommended for UV and water resistance, or you can seal your print with a waterproof clear coat.
• Layer Height: 0.2mm or 0.16mm for higher detail on the joints.
• Infill: 15% - 20% gyroid or grid. You can adjust the infill in the main bobber body to control its buoyancy.
• Supports:  Does not require supports. 
• Bed Adhesion: A brim is highly recommended if you struggle with bed adhesion.

🛠️ Assembly & Rigging

1. Arms and legs: This is designed to be print in place
2. Rigging: To use it as a traditional float, thread your fishing line through the center hole (for slip bobber rigs) or use a standard spring/clip mechanism to attach the line to your buddy's torso
