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.

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.
