The inspiration for the structure of this piece comes from other 3D printed articulated fish (I am not sure whose work it is). For the gold color, I used RAMBERY's PLA Silk Gold, and for the red color, I used R3D's PLA China Red. For the adhesive, I recommend using slow-drying glue, which makes it easier to align the scales.Print this Arowana(all of my works) without supports and without a brim. To be safe, you can apply a little heat bed glue on the print bed.The printing configuration shows a time of 11.7 hours for a layer height of 0.12mm Fine. Printing at a layer height of 0.08mm Extra Fine will produce better results, taking approximately 15 hours. At a layer height of 0.2mm, the print can be completed in about 7 hours, but the layer lines will be too noticeable. When gluing the left and right sides of the fish body, just apply glue around the perimeter; the internal structure does not need to be glued.Someone have created custom bases specifically for this golden arowana
