Shark Floater Decor

⚙️ Recommended Print Settings

Since this set is highly versatile, settings are provided for both popular printing methods. Achieving buoyancy is key for both methods, requiring different techniques.

SLA/Resin Settings (Recommended for Detail & Quality)

• Material: Standard UV Resin (Grey or white).

• Layer Height: 0.05 mm or finer for capturing the fine details and smooth contours.

• Orientation (CRITICAL): Print flat on the model’s bottom as designed.

• Preparation (MANDATORY): These files require the user to perform hollowing and drainage hole addition before slicing. No supports are required for this design.

FDM/Filament Settings (Alternative for Larger Scales)

• Material: PETG or PLA. PETG offers better long-term water resistance.

• Layer Height: 0.2 mm.

• Infill Density: 0% or 5% (Gaps only). The model must be hollow to float.

• Wall/Perimeter Count: 2 or 3. Note: This low count requires fine-tuning to ensure a fully watertight seal.

• Orientation (CRITICAL): Print flat on the model’s bottom to guarantee a perfectly sealed bottom layer for buoyancy. No supports are required.

Important: Always thoroughly clean your final print before placing it in an aquarium. Avoid using metal-filled or abrasive filaments. For long-term use, ensure your chosen material is chemically stable in water.
