updates
FIN added
The fin can be printed seperately and plugged in,to any versions of the seahorse.

V5 Has the best of both worlds, stronger tail links, scalable down upto 75% and tail is now linear, means its visually symmetric.

Working Notes :

If you are using core XY printer, print the body as it is, for Bed slinger printers, Rotating Z 45 degrees will make the print easier and offering better bed adhesion.

FOR A RIGID TAIL PRINT V1 RIGID TAIL VERSION
• ONLY PLUGS FOLDER HAS PLUGS WHICH YOU CAN SCALE DOWN 1-2% IF PLUGS ARE TIGHT
• DEFAULT BODY DOEST HAVE AN ARTICULATED TAIL AS THE LINKS WOULD BE FRAGILE, V2 AND V3 HAS A FULLY ARTICULATED TAIL.
• The files are hi resolution and might take a while to load and slice.
• Support FREE

some BAMBU LABS users had bed adhesion issues on link 19-20,
V3 Folder contains a bigger first layer for those links.
Also if problem persist, You can also use the cut tool and cut away an mm to have a bigger first layer, or slowing down print speed, or enabling Z hop, or increasing bed temperature 10C, or by using a lower layer height. happy printing.

⚠️ Note⚠️
• If Slicer errors and warnings appear, they should be ignored as they are part of the reverse engineering protection. Models will slice and print correctly despite these warnings and errors. Be sure to check the slicing preview to confirm a successful slice.
• Model errors and warnings should not be repaired.
Please do contact us for any suggestions to be consider on future releases or modifications.
• In the event of first layer Mis print, gaps, use the cut tool in the slicer and cutoff 0.05-1mm from the model.
