Description

Overview and production context

Introducing a detailed 3D model of a sectional crucian carp, specifically designed for 3D printing. The model comprises six parts: head, four body segments, and tail, allowing for a posable body. The finished model measures 120 mm in length. Integrated cylindrical joints with a 2 mm axis are incorporated at the connection points, enabling free bending of the fish's body. Joint surfaces are reinforced with 3 mm thickenings for enhanced durability. The scales are rendered as a light relief, at least 0.5 mm thick, and the fins are simplified into robust plates without thin connections, ensuring their longevity during printing.

How to use this model

Use cases, fit and pre-production checks

This crucian carp 3D model is ideal for 3D printing due to its thoughtful design. Printing with PLA or ABS plastic is recommended. At a 1:1 scale (120 mm), the joints will be functional, allowing the fish's body to bend. Minimal supports may be required for optimal print quality and joint articulation. The model is also excellent for use in game projects, AR/VR applications, or as a unique decorative element. It can be painted after printing to achieve a realistic look or a fantasy appearance.
