Fun and decorative print for bathrooms and other living spaces.
The Seahorse has been weight balanced solid in some areas and hollow in others so, in addition to a small flat on the base, it will stand up (but is printed flat on a Raft).
Recommend printing with translucent coloured filament for best results.
Please note: This print has fine detail so the number of shells, infill percentage and the filament being used can affect the result. If the finish is not as good as in the photos try a different number of shells, a different spool and/or try a slower extruding speed. If it won't stand on its tail change the shells and/or fill percentage until it does.
Print with standard resolution (0.20mm) Raft on and 65% infill (to assist with balance so it will stand upright on the small flat base). The high fill percentage doesn't use a lot of filament as the rear of the model has been designed to stay hollow.

Thanks for sharing, it's ecactly what I needed. Remixed in Fusion 360 for use as a bathroom pullcord end. Printed in Polyalchemy Elixir Aqua Blue at 0.2mm layer height. I also added internal infill for a little extra weight.
