Great White Shark Earring Charm — Bites the Ring

WARNING — the fins are very brittle. Handle gently.

The dorsal, pectoral and tail fins are thin and snap off easily — both during support removal and in normal handling. Please be careful:

• Remove supports slowly, supporting each fin with a finger.

• For stronger fins, print with 3+ walls, slow the outer-wall speed, and consider PETG or tough PLA instead of brittle PLA.

• This is a delicate display / jewelry charm, NOT a toy for rough use.

A realistic sleek great-white shark charm that BITES a jump-ring held at the front of its mouth. The ring is the hang point — worn upside-down, the metal earring hook threads the mouth-ring and the shark hangs nose-up / tail-down.

• About 37 x 66 x 25 mm, single watertight body.

• A jump-ring (2.5 mm inner, 5.7 mm outer) is fused into the front of the jaws, hole running side to side so the profile faces forward.

• Add a fish-hook ear wire through the printed mouth-ring for an earring, or a lobster clasp on a chain for a pendant.

Print:

• Print on its SIDE (flat profile on the bed) with tree supports for the fins and jaw, or belly-down with a brim.

• 0.12 mm layers for crisp detail, 3+ walls, 15-20% gyroid infill.

• Counter-shade it: print or paint slate-grey on top, off-white below.

Remember: the fins are fragile. Strong walls + a tough filament make a big difference.
