Floppy Whale Shark - Articulated whale shark
It's a floppy whale shark!
Let it swim from your dreams out onto your print bed, then flex on your friends as you show them the coolest thing in the world! (The coolest thing in the world is the floppy whale shark you just printed, in case you were wondering)

Make sure you have your build plate nice and clean to avoid adhesion issues. Either clean it with an ammonia based cleaner like Windex or clean it with high quality dish soap and warm water. IPA also helps, but not guaranteed to work.
Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter.

I am trying to print this out and it goes great until the very end and then around the fin area prints very roughly and some of the pieces stick together. Do you know why this happens and what I can do to prevent it? Its such a cool file.
This happens when pieces start to get disconnected from the build plate. Because of the mesh at the bottom it doesn't get knocked completely off the build plate, but is still loose. That's why it looks bad. I highly recommend cleaning your build plate with high-quality dish soap like Dawn and hot water. Dry it off with a microfiber cloth and try again. You also might benefit from some adhesive like Vision Miner Nano Polymer Adhesive to ensure your print stays adhered to the build plate.
Thank you. I have washed and dried the plate but not used any adhesive.
