About this print
A decorative koi fish sculpture inspired by Chang-Rae Lee's novel On Such a Full Sea, depicting a stylised fish in a swimming pose. The model requires support structures during printing, which need to be removed after the print is complete. PLA or PETG both work well, with a silk or metallic PLA filament a common choice when a reflective finish is wanted for display.

Thanks to everyone who entered our 'On Such a Full Sea' Fish Challenge!
We thought we'd share our own design inspired by Chang-Rae Lee's heroine, Fan, who is a tank diver.
This design requires supports while printing. It takes a few hours to remove all the supports with pliers, but the results are definitely worth it!
Formatting may have been simplified. These are the independent maker's instructions and fitment claims; Hark Tech has not independently verified them.
