Hey Everyone!
Introducing the Great White Shark!
I wanted to make a companion for the Hammerhead Shark, and what better than the crowd favorite Great White?! This fella looks to be hiding mischievous intentions behind that toothy grin.
I'm planning to release this model to Cults3D next week. In the meantime, I would love to hear any feedback so that I can address any issues before I release it there.
Happy Printing!
Matt
Pictured Model is printed in... Cookiecad Mermaid***

3D PRINTING SETTINGS
Body: Print-In-Place. (So far I do not see a need for custom brims, but let me know if you feel they would help. note: generating brims in-slicer can make fin cleanup a bit of work.)
Head: Snap-Fit to Body. Pre-Supported for easy printing. No additional support needed.
5-15% Infill.
3 Walls.
Here is a quick video showing the easiest method for snap-fitting the head onto the body: https://youtu.be/DWsYu2BY7ow

what layer height do you use?

I love him! He looks like he should be wearing an Akubra hat and be named Bruce!

My Bambu prints are generally really clean, and the seams are usually pretty well hidden. I've been using "nearest" for the Bambu. For my other printers, I use Cura's "sharpest corner" and "smart hiding".
JZA3D
I have a question. how do you manage to get the seams to not show.. your prints looks super clean

I printed the eyes in white with my multicolor printer and then painted the iris and pupil. Here’s a video of how I paint them. https://www.patreon.com/posts/tutorial-eyes-2-74444421

Prints great at 100% and at 75% on the Bambu X1C, 0.16 layer heigh on .4 nozzle. 2 walls 10% or 15% infill depending on what I'm messing with. Any chance we'll get a Great White magnet?? :)
MatMire_Makes
Thanks! I use a Bambu X1
Angelo amato
looks great! what printer do you use??
MatMire_Makes
That’s odd. Did you have supports turned on by chance?

Just finished printing it. Looks and prints great! But I can’t get the fins to loosen and move. Might just be me though. But great job overall!
MatMire_Makes
Unfortunately no, not without using the head support wedged under the tail fin. It doesn’t have the same front weight that helps the GW balance.

dose the hammerhead stand on its tail like this one as well?
Timothy Heidecker
OMG I LOVE IT!!!!
Tig
printing two of them tomorrow lol
MatMire_Makes
A bit of both. I hand painted the eyes to speed up the print time. The teeth are MMU.
