4-Mation: Fish animation V2 stalks and bases
thingiverse
These are the DXFs, CorelDraw and STL files for the new two-part solvent-welded laser-cut perspex fish stalk-bases designed for use with the 4-Mation - Version 2 Fish animation: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3888701 Alternatively, you can 3D print them from clear resin. The stalk would still be brittle and unsuitable for shipping drops, but it allows you to utilize the upgraded Fish V2 design and take advantage of easier painting with separate removable stalks. You require six angled stalk-bases, twenty-one small thin stalk-bases, and twenty-eight standard stalk-bases. To create laser cut perspex stalk-bases, laser cut the bases separately from 3mm perspex sheet, and the stalks from 3mm and 2mm square perspex rods. Next, solvent weld them together using a cast silicone jig that you made using 3D printed stalk-bases. Note that laser cutting the angled stalk is challenging - I will update this thing when I figure out a reliable method to accomplish it.
