Articulated Beluga whale

Dimensions (LxWxH)

170 x 64 x 36 mm (100% scale)

Basic information

A long awaited, fifth addition to the Articulated Sea Life collection, the Beluga whale is here! 

It was designed to print as easily, and as reliably, as possible. No post processing, or tweaking is needed. The model is fully functional right off the buildplate, and doesn't require any additional assembly.

Included files

I've included one raw .stl design file, as well as 2 .3mf project files, one singlecolor, and one multicolor.

Material

PLA

Layer height

≤0,2 mm

or

>0,2 mm + variable layer height

Infill

>10%

Support

None. The model was designed not to require any support material.

Scaling

The model should come out perfectly functional even at lower scales. Tested up to 60% of the original scale. Results may vary depending on the accuracy of your setup and quality of the materials used.

Orientation

Default, laid flat on the belly

Adhesion aid

Not necessary, contact area with the buildplate should be sufficient. If your print surface suffers from poor adhesion, consider using some adhesive spray, or other kind of adhesion booster. Using brim is possible, but not recommended, as it would be difficult, and inconvenient to remove afterwards.
