<p><strong>DISCLAIMER</strong>: 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.</p> <p>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. <a href="http://animaltoyforum.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=e1qjmmo355gqgt8u34o7hkv82s&amp;topic=2297.msg19090#msg19090">http://animaltoyforum.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=e1qjmmo355gqgt8u34o7hkv82s&amp;topic=2297.msg19090#msg19090</a></p> <p>There's two versions here - a plain model and a posed one with a base.</p> <p>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.</p> <hr/> <p>A little about the Devil's Hole Pupfish:</p> <ul> <li>Critically endangered</li> <li>One of the rarest known fish</li> <li>Found only in ONE underground pool in a detached part of Death Valley</li> <li>Very small &amp; very blue</li> </ul> <p>Nevada Dept. of Fish &amp; Wildlife page: <a href="https://www.fws.gov/nevada/protected_species/fish/species/dhp/dhp.html">https://www.fws.gov/nevada/protected_species/fish/species/dhp/dhp.html</a></p> <p>Wikipedia: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devils_Hole_pupfish">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devils_Hole_pupfish</a></p> <p>OneZoom Tree of Life Explorer: <a href="https://www.onezoom.org/life/@Cyprinodon_diabolis=33248?img=best_any&amp;anim=flight#x254,y663,w1.2848">https://www.onezoom.org/life/@Cyprinodon_diabolis=33248?img=best_any&amp;anim=flight#x254,y663,w1.2848</a></p> Category: Animals
