This lifelike seahorse figurine captures the delicate charm and intricate texture of a real seahorse, with a slender, gently curving body, a curled tail, and a finely detailed bony exterior. The head is proportionally accurate, with expressive eyes and a pronounced snout, while the body is adorned with realistic ridges and a small, fanned dorsal fin. The model is ideal for educational purposes, marine-themed dioramas, or as a collectible piece for animal lovers.
The initial 3D form was generated with the assistance of AI tools, after which it was extensively refined and manually detailed in Blender and other 3D editing software. This workflow ensures the figure maintains its unique character and meets the standards of precision, structure, and print-readiness required for high-quality 3D printing.
Please note that the model is primarily designed for textured versions (OBJ + MTL in ZIP archive), allowing for a rich and visually detailed result when used with color-supported 3D printing or digital rendering. The non-textured version (STL, 3MF) may lack some surface details visible in the textured formats.
Technical Features and Printing Recommendations:
Formats included: STL, OBJ, MTL, 3MF, FBX, BLEND, all provided in a ZIP archive. Separate OBJ and STL files are included for 3D viewer compatibility.
Recommended print size: 80–120 mm in height for optimal detail.
Suggested materials: PLA, PETG, or resin for best surface finish.
Supports: Minimal or no supports required; use slicer auto-supports for overhangs if needed.
Layer height: 0.1–0.15 mm for best results.
Print time: Approximately 90–180 minutes at recommended size.
Material consumption: 18–35 g, depending on size and infill.
Scaling Note: This model is designed in millimeters (mm). If it appears too small when imported into your slicer, ensure your software is set to mm units. If needed, scale the model up 100x if the slicer defaults to meters instead.
