Description
The Pacific spiny lumpsucker (Eumicrotremus orbis) are typically small fish (2-5cm from booper to pooper) that live along the northern-most coastlines of Japan, along the Bering Strait, all the way down to the coastlines of Washington state in the US. They're lousy swimmers, which they make up for with a sucker-like patch on its belly where the caudal fins would be on other fish that allow it to cling to surfaces suck as rocks, shells, and seaweed to avoid getting washed away.
I've included two versions of the sculpt: one with a sculpted sucker plate, and another with a depression that can fit a permanent magnet measuring 20m in diameter and 1.5mm tall.
You can also print the eyes separately so that you can print them in a different color from the body without the need for a multifilament setup: just resize the eyes for your setup (I used 3% smaller for a Bambu Lab P1S printer) so they'll slide in without the need for a hammer.
