Interactive Articulated Flexi Fish and Fishing Pole Models!

The articulated fish and fishing pole models are very fun! All models are print-in-place, and they can be printed with no s. There is a hole in the fish model’s bottom mouth for a magnet (for magnet fishing), and a hole in the top of the mouth for adding a keychain ring or fishing with a hook/paper clip. This model package includes both the articulated fish and the fishing pole models for ultimate fun at just one price. There are lots of fish model versions in this model package – large, medium, small, keychain, regular, mouth magnet (for magnet fishing), fixed fins or articulated fins, and more. By slowing the print down and printing with small layer heights, it will make the print more details/stronger. We also printed the fish on rafts, and after the fish printed, the rafts looked like swords/daggers so another bonus! Assembly instructions for the fishing rod can be found in our Youtube video (link above).

For the large fish model, the mouth bottom magnet hole was designed to use 2mm x 7mm magnets (link to the magnets we used here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B3TKH7Y3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1). The medium and small model mouths were designed to use 2mm x 5mm magnets (link to the magnets we used here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09SKHYGLN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1). When loading the model into slicers, it mentioned there is a small “model error,” but after investigating, it is very minor, and it has printed great on all our test printers and on all the slicers we tried. If there is a problem with the model, please message us or email us at [email protected].
