Description
Overview and production context
Introducing a detailed 3D model of a segmented crucian carp, designed specifically for 3D printing. The model consists of six separate parts: head, four body segments, and tail. Integrated cylindrical hinges are provided at the joints, allowing the fish's body to bend freely, enabling various poses. The joint surfaces are reinforced with 3mm thickenings for added durability. A subtle scale relief, at least 0.5mm thick, adds realism to the model. The fins are positioned at a 90° angle from the body, allowing the carp to rest stably on its belly.
How to use this model
Use cases, fit and pre-production checks
This carp model is ideal for 3D printing. Materials that ensure hinge flexibility, such as PLA or PETG, are recommended. Supports may be needed for the fins and head during printing, depending on the model's orientation on the build plate. The model's length is 120mm but can be easily scaled in your slicer for miniatures or larger versions. The assembled model makes an excellent desk or shelf decoration, and can also serve as an interactive toy.
Thanks to its articulated joints, the carp model is perfect for use in games and AR/VR applications requiring realistic fish movement animation. It can be integrated into underwater scenes or used as a game asset. The model is also well-suited for creating dioramas or collectible displays, allowing for the recreation of natural fish behavior in water.
FAQ
Answers for this exact model page
What are the dimensions of the carp model and how should I print it?
The model's length is 120mm. It consists of 6 parts connected by integrated hinges. Printing with PLA or PETG is recommended, possibly with supports for fins. The size can be scaled in your slicer.
Can this model be used for animation?
Yes, due to its articulated joints, the model is excellent for integration into game engines or AR/VR applications requiring realistic fish movement animation.
What is the detail level of the scales on the model?
The model features a subtle scale relief at least 0.5mm thick, giving it a realistic appearance that prints well on a 3D printer.
How are the fins positioned and why?
The fins are positioned outwards at a 90° angle from the body. This is done so the assembled carp model can rest stably on its belly, which is convenient for display or play.
