Articulated Humpback Whale

Check out my Patreon or my Printables club for more awesome models and benefits!

Meet the Articulated Humpback whale!  It is super cute, very easy to print, and doesn't require any support material or post processing.

The multicolor version requires a toolchanger or an automatic filament swap system (MMU, AMS, CFS or similar). It is not possible to print the 3  color version in multiple parts and then assemble it.

Included Files

I've included two .3mf project files for PrusaSlicer (1 color and 3 colors), as well as raw .stl files for best compatibility with other slicers.

Material

 PLA

Layer height

 0,2 mm

Infill

>15%

Support

None. This model doesn't require any support material.

Scaling

The model should print fine up to 50% of the original scale. 

Orientation

Default, laid flat on the belly

Adhesion aid

Unnecessary, the contact surface with the buildplate should provide sufficient adhesion. However if your print surface suffers from poor adhesion, consider using an adhesive spray, or some other kind of adhesion booster. Using a brim is possible but not recommended, as it would be too difficult and inconvenient to remove afterwards.
