Bring the mesmerizing, fluid grace of a living Japanese koi pond right into your hands! The SKS.3D.WS Strong Articulated Koi Fidget combines premium low-poly geometric aesthetics with an ultra-durable interlocking hinge system. Engineered specifically as a heavy-duty, high-motion sensory tool, this print-in-place companion bends, twists, and ripples effortlessly to deliver a soothing tactile experience.

TWO ICONIC MARKING STYLES INCLUDED

Customize your aquatic companion with two distinct, traditional koi patterns included in the package:

Classic Patches Style: Features beautiful, flowing organic spots distributed elegantly across the head and moving body segments—mimicking the timeless look of Kohaku and Sanke variety koi fish

Tancho Style: Features a clean, striking, minimalist aesthetic defined by a single iconic circular spot positioned perfectly on the centre of the head block, leaving the rest of the articulated body sleek and uniform.

DUAL PRINTING MODES: AMS & GLUE-IN FRIENDLY

Whether you own a high-end multi-material setup or a reliable single-extruder machine, this model is built to accommodate your hardware perfectly with zero compromises:

AMS Multi-Colour Mode: Features completely separated, pre-painted face and body zones. Perfect for systems like the Bambu AMS, allowing you to print gorgeous multi-colored scales, deep eyes, and vivid patches flush and seamless straight off the build plate.

Glue-In Mode (Single-Extruder Optimization): Designed with high-tolerance inset sockets for the eyes, head spot, and body patches . You can print the primary white or black fish body independently, then print your accent spots in vibrant orange, red, or black filament to snap and glue into place with absolutely zero filament flushing waste.
