Whale Toy

pinshape

This magnificent creature is facing an unprecedented crisis. Whales can live for over 150 years, which makes their reproductive cycle painfully slow. This vulnerability leaves them susceptible to population fluctuations or even collapse. The cumulative effect of whaling and overfishing poses a formidable challenge that threatens the entire ecosystem's survival. Blue whales, the largest animal to have ever existed, still struggle to recover from being hunted to the brink of extinction. It is hoped that this toy will serve as a poignant reminder of these gentle mammals' fragility and our urgent need to preserve them along with the delicate ecosystems they support. --- This custom-made toy features movable parts. Print it immediately without assembly requirements, and avoid using supports for optimal functionality. Here's a timelapse of this print in action: Filament: PLA Nozzle diameter: 0.4mm Original size: 100% Layer height: 0.2mm Exterior wall thickness: 1mm Infill density: 20% Maximum printing speed: 2400 mm/min (40 mm/sec) This print required approximately 150mm of white filament, ranging from 5% to 10%, followed by a switch to blue filament for the two-tone effect. --- It is hoped that you and your children will find joy in this whale toy as much as I do with my own kids.
