3-headed Great White Shark

thingiverse

All credit for the original model goes to lostinlmbo, and I simply trimmed, rotated, and pasted a few parts in Tinkercad. My brother tells me that my nephew is currently crazy about things with three heads and also sharks. The young man would like a 3-headed shark, so can I print one? Sure, if I can find it. Nope. So I borrowed a good Great White model, cut it up, removed some extra fins, and rotated the extra heads. Then I thought about printing it, but yuck, support structures everywhere. So I cut it in half. Then I remembered that my nephew can be rough on things, so gluing the halves together might not work. So I put some square holes in the model and added a matching square peg - booyah! Easy-print 3-headed shark. The first print failed due to a power outage, but not before printing far enough for me to test fit the peg. It's a tight fit, which is good, so may not even need glue. If you find the peg too tight, I suggest downsizing in your slicer by maybe .1mm in all directions. Tinkercad is not a super accurate CAD program, so the front and back halves of the split model are about 99.44% pure fit. Not perfect, but close enough for a six-year-old kid who just wants a 3-headed shark. Heck, most adults would probably overlook the very minor fitment imperfections.
