Summary

Baby seal valve cap designed for my daugthers unicycle.

Also my first try to sand and paint a print to a nice finish. It's not perfect but turned out reasonably well, could have used more sanding. For reference:

  • Printed in 0.1 layer height PETG
  • Sanded with 400 grit
  • Brushed with tamiya primer
  • Brushed with white acrylic paint
  • Wet sanded some bumps with 600 grit
  • Airbrushed white acrylic paint
  • Painted eyes, nose with fine brush with acrylic paint
  • 7 coats of enamel clear coat

Files provided with and without manual support for the fins.
"Short" version has pectoral fins and thread start at the same layer.
"Long" version has a longer thread part.
