This articulated catfish was designed with a long chunky body, detailed skin texture, smooth segmented movement, and the classic catfish look with fins, whiskers, and a wide bottom-heavy head shape.

The dark top color, grey side shading, and bone white belly give the model a natural catfish-style contrast while still keeping a clean 3D printed look. The segmented body allows the fish to flex naturally while keeping strong detail, smooth movement, and a great display look straight off the build plate.

👁️ Uses 6mm glass eyes 📄 Also works with the 8mm Catfish eye sheet, available in the members only eye sheet listing or use rainbow trout eyes.

🎨 Filaments Used: MatterHackers PLA Black, top body MatterHackers PLA Grey, side color eSUN Bone White PLA, belly

⚠️ Multi-color articulated prints can sometimes be harder to print if the build plate is not properly clean. Make sure your build plate is clean before printing. A brim or raft may also help improve adhesion and print reliability.

📸 Great for fishing fans, river and lake displays, cabin decor, tackle room shelves, gifts, or experimenting with different catfish color patterns and regional variations.
