DISCLAIMER: I'm not a biologist, and I'm also not very good at sculpting yet... So probably don't trust this model to be very accurate! It's just for fun.

I saw this thread about a devil's hole pupfish toy and thought it was cute but couldn't find any way to get one online anywhere, so I wanted to make my own. http://animaltoyforum.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=e1qjmmo355gqgt8u34o7hkv82s&topic=2297.msg19090#msg19090

There's two versions here - a plain model and a posed one with a base.

The posed version should print just fine, but you will probably want to either use a high bed temperature or add a brim in your slicer to stick down the tail and fin if you're printing at 100% scale or lower.

A little about the Devil's Hole Pupfish:

  • Critically endangered
  • One of the rarest known fish
  • Found only in ONE underground pool in a detached part of Death Valley
  • Very small & very blue
