We didn’t design this model. It’s a community file from its original creator, and now and then a file has a fault that only shows up when we print it, such as walls that are too thin or parts that don’t join properly. If that happens we’ll let you know and try to fix the file, which can add a day or two. If we can’t get a good print from it, we’ll refund you in full.

Please check the model files include everything you need before ordering. We print the files as published by the creator, so you receive the parts in the model, not necessarily a finished assembly shown in any photos. These are community designs by their original creators; we manufacture and post them but cannot guarantee fitment for your specific appliance or use case - check the original design page for compatibility.

About this print

A flexible, articulated shark figure with jointed segments that allow the body to bend and move. This is a cleaned-up remix of a well-known articulated design, with smoother top segments and reinforced sides near the tail for added durability. The model is popular as a desk toy or novelty gift. Printing in TPU suits the articulated design, as the segments move more freely than they would in a rigid plastic.

Original maker's notes

By cyclenut on Thingiverse · CC-BY

loaded crazycraig's remix of nihil's articulated shark into fusion360 and cleaned up the top face- removing the grooves that were in first and second segments-

edit- I see that ppardee (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2766851) took the same steps to clean up the grooves on nihil's original and his slices properly in simplify3d, so he beat me to the punch. the only addition my version adds over his is the thickening of the sides of the last segment before the tail for added strength.

... 4 hours later- noticed one segment was not completely flat on the bottom, so fixed that.. and while I was at it I made the sides on the segment that connects to the tail a little thicker so they will be less prone to breaking.

3/6/18- I have been printing these at 120% and they have been coming out great- the green one in the photos above is an example.

Formatting may have been simplified. These are the independent maker's instructions and fitment claims; Hark Tech has not independently verified them.

Printing clean flexi shark

For clean flexi shark we would normally reach for PLA — it is the easy, economical default and suits the majority of models. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
