WhimsiFish Friends Collection 3D print model

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.
