Tuna Chandelier, (once it has a light anyway.)
-5 man hours to assemble.
-Around 150 hours to print all parts on my Prusa 250mm x 200mm bed.
I made this tuna mobile from a tuna file that was on here already, printed 90 PLA copies of the fish in varying sizes at .20mm resolution 10% infill, 50% up to 150% scale, to avoid printing supports and reduce the print time I sliced the fish in Slic3r along the horizontal axis and printed each fish as two pieces and glued them together. Then took a 1/16 drill bit to drill through the fish in two places vertically. Cut many pieces of fishing line to 3"-5" lengths. Inserted fishing line a half inch into holes and inserted a glue covered spike into the hole to plug and secure the line in that hole. One long string was too difficult to pass through a hollow body with complex infill.
The base arms and plugs are straight forward, 20% infill, 3 perimeter for rigidity, I used 5 arms but I designed the base with room for 10 arms. I printed the bas
