Dive into a school of charming sea-creatures brought to life through a playful blend of AI-assisted generation and artist-driven refinement. Each WhimsiFish Friend features exaggerated fins, big expressive eyes, and dynamic poses—perfect for collectors, desk décor, or a splash of under-the-sea whimsy on your shelf. The model is designed as a single, solid body (no moving parts or assembly), ensuring a smooth printing experience and maximum durability.
Key Design Highlights:
- Organic Silhouettes: Soft, rounded contours and slightly over-sized features make each character pop and minimize fragile, thin details.
- Surface Details: Subtle scales, fin ridges, and gill accents add just enough texture for visual interest without complicating slicing.
- Stable Base: A flattened underside and gently splayed “feet” give natural stability for display—no extra stand needed!
AI + Artist Collaboration:This model was born from an AI 3D generator’s creative spark, then lovingly sculpted and polished by hand to ensure smooth surfaces, charming expressions, and print-ready topology. We’re proud to embrace the best of both worlds: cutting-edge AI innovation and human artistic touch.
RECOMMENDED 3D PRINT SETTINGS
- Printer Type: FDM/FFF or SLA resin
- Material: PLA or PETG for FDM; standard grey or colored resin for SLA
- Layer Height: 0.12–0.2 mm (FDM) or 0.05–0.1 mm (SLA)
- Infill: 10–20% gyroid or cubic (to balance strength and material use)
- Supports: Minimal – only under the chin/overhangs above 60°. Use tree supports if available.
- Print Orientation: Upright on “feet” (flat base down) for best detail on face and fins.
- Nozzle/Resin Tip: 0.4 mm nozzle (FDM); standard resin settings (SLA).
Post-Processing Tips:
- Gently sand any support-touchpoints with 220–400 grit.
- Prime and paint with acrylics to highlight those big eyes and fin details!
- Seal with matte or satin varnish for a soft, toy-like finish.
