The Cap (fish body) requires manual supports for the side fins, back fin and switch stem hole. Support for PLA filament is recommended but not required — it just makes removal easier and the prints come out a bit cleaner 🩷

Decrease your outer wall printing speed to 60 mm/s or below — slower speeds give the surface more time to settle smoothly.

Editing Colors & Parts

▼
⚠️ Do not scale the model — clickers are not suitable for scaling. It will break the fit between parts and the switch won't seat correctly.
  • Open the 3MF file — parts are pre-separated with suggested color assignments
  • To recolor a part: Alt + Left Click → press the filament slot number (1, 2, 3…) — or select it from the filament list in Object Mode
  • To remove optional parts (spots, pupils, eye glares): Alt + Left Click the part → press Delete
Don't use the Fill Paint tool to repaint parts — it can cause messy color edges. Use color assignments instead.
