[Exclusive] Shrimp Flexi and Tank
🕑 Added 2025-01-26 22:37:51 +0000 UTCHi!!
I am happy to release the shrimp and their home! Everything that is included in this release:
🦐Shrimp Flexi - Two tail versions + Keychains
🦐Shrimp flexi 3MF files
🦐Tank - prints in parts
The shrimp is tested down to 50% with articulation, However I don't recommend going below 80%. I recommend to print with 3 walls, No supports, If you are having adhesion issues please use a brim (make sure to include a brim gap, I use 0.3 mm)
The 3mf is split to parts, but the eyes are hand painted, if you wish to repaint any part of the shrimp you can shrimply use the fill tool! Another way to change the colors of the sections quickly is to find them under the object list from the left hand side panel and change the filament assigned to them! Its fun adding all different colors to the shrimp and getting a variety from one plate without adding extra color changes.
The tank prints in parts and then is glued together. I have put together a quick assembly video click below:
The tank is 1:1 ratio with the shrimp. One 100% shrimp will fit into an 100% tank.
If you are using translucent filament for the tank I recommend printing with 3 walls which will avoid infill in-between the walls. All the other parts of the tank do well with 2 walls.
If you want the "glass" to be more transparent you can lower it into the bed until there's 4-5 layers only
Please pay attention as to how you are placing the substrate inside the base, as it needs to be titled downwards and then straightened out. This is shown in the assembly video!
Also take care when removing the parts of the tank from the build plate especially if it is still hot. I recommend to only flex the plate and never pull things off of it as that could cause damage to the parts.
The purple and pink tank in the pictures is 120% and the blue and black shrimp are 80%. I don't recommend printing the tank smaller than 100%
⭐As with all of my designs, I strongly advise that the printed models are not to be handled by children under 3 without proper supervision⭐
🦐🦐The tank is only meant as a PROP, it does NOT represent the proper size of fish tank that live animals will require. Make sure to always research the right size of tank for healthy happy pets 🦐🦐
There are a ton of different filaments used in this release. Please Comment below if you are interested in the names of any of the colors!
I think that sums it up! Let me know if I've missed anything 🥰

Comments
me
can you make a flexi mermaid
Christine
hii!! sorry im not totally sure what you mean?
Brandon Smith
How do I lower the layers to 5 layer?
Christine
I used a modifier to block the infill just after the inner bottom part prints as that part needs infill and the rest of the tank doesn’t.
Danielle King
What infill would you recommend if trying to print transparent “glass” with clear pla filament?
Christine
I’m hoping to make more things to put in the tank 🥰
Sadi Alford
im obsessed with the tank but, is there a possibility you could make sharks or fish or turtles or something? im not too sure people will buy shrimps ><
Christine
yaay!! No worries at all! happy to do it 💖
Teresa Hall
wow I'm so sorry! I found it now thank you for all you do
Christine
Hii!! it’s in the articulated folder! look for “shrimp flexi and fish tank” you can use the search bar at the top where it says “search in drive”
Christine
Hii!! follow the exclusives link in the download post, then in the articulated folder look for “shrimp flexi and fish tank” folder 🥰
Teresa Hall
hmmm i cant find the aquarium link, are we only able to purchase one month previous of stls?
Louis Jones
Hi, i can't seem to find the shrimp tank on the google drive? please can you help
Christine
hii!! both eyes are merged to the body in those 3mfs I didn't split them to parts. in which 3mf was the eye selectable? and which version keychain or regular?
Jo Allan
hi, with the heart tail 3mf only 1 of the eyes is selectable and the other one selects the whole head. can this be amended please? Thanks
Ruth Hein
Not me with $250 worth of filament suddenly in my Amazon cart after reading all the filaments used lol...
BC 3D
Ah, I've still got to figure out the merging before splitting to objects to prevent the eyes from falling to the plate.
Christine
You can do absolutely everything to the separate eyes as you do to these ones!
BC 3D
Thanks for not making the eyes separate objects on this one. I'm able to have some fun with the variations now.
Michael Miller
I printed 4 tanks on my P1S in the Ziro winter with 3 walls not thinking of it being a gradient and now I have 4 blue and white striped aquariums lol 🤦♂️
Aaron Whitehead
Too cute! I love this underwater theme, now I need more!
Christine
It’s ziro winter 🥰
Michael Miller
Hey love this design, was wondering which filament the tank walls are in the 2nd and last pic (15)?
Michelle T
This is so stinkin cute!!!
Christine
Hii!! I used ziro twinkling translucent!
Kaisa Cardall
Hi! What 'clear' filament did you use?
Rachel's Crafty Corner
Can you please make some other animals to go in the tank like fish, snails, or hermit crabs? These would be so cute!
Christine
Hii!! It’s polymaker lava red and polymaker galaxy dark grey 🥰
Cyndi Longo
Hi! Also curious what color filaments the red and black are on the red and black shrimp.
Kataleena Campos
Thank you! :)
Christine
the red one is a flushie! the rest are just single color prints. Add a couple shrimp and set them as purge into object along with your multicolor shrimp plate 🥰
Christine
Hii!! follow the link at the bottom of the post, it’ll take you to the download post, once there scroll all the way down and you’ll see the link at the bottom 🥰
SomethingKlever
How was 11 & 12 colored? It looks like 12 was possibly a flushed item - maybe 11? I love them, and want to recreate something similar. Tips please? Thank you.
Kataleena Campos
These are adorable! Maybe I've just been overlooking it but I can't seem to find the file
Christine
It’s iSANMATE Matte Gradient red orange 🥰
Mike Sprague
What's the orange gradient filament? Thanks
John Lauren Kaitlyn Jennifer Banks
Thank you :-) The ziro filaments are so pretty but I haven't tried those ones yet.
Christine
The base is Ziro winter, The substrate is ziro twinkling pink, the plants are hatchbox mint green, the shell and filter is Ziro matte purple, the bubbles is ziro winter but on a different part of the gradient 🥰
John Lauren Kaitlyn Jennifer Banks
Love it :-) Could you please tell me the tank color in pic 13? As well as the shell color? Thank you! An axolotl for the tank would be fun.
Christine
Thank you! The link is ziro pla pro rose and the neon yellow is spectrum fluo yellow. the rainbow one is Eryone matte rainbow!
Hailey
Definitely need more fish for this 😍
Amber Dimond
Hello These are amazing and I can’t wait to print! Any chance you could share the filament used for the pink and neon yellow ship and also the little rainbow one? Thank you!
Christine
The clear sparkling one is ziro twinkling transparent!
Christine
I love ziro twinkle transparent!
Jo Allan
This is so so cute! Can you please list all the colours :)
Giamarie Saponaro
is the clear cookie cad also then?
Leah Ditch
Do u have a good transparent clear pla suggestion?
Christine
The blue for the “glass”? it’s cookie cad elixir 🥰 you would still need infill to print the bottom of the tank but by adding 3 walls the back wall of the tank ends up being all walls without infill
Giamarie Saponaro
what is the blue translucent you used? and when you say 3 walls was there no infill used then? Love this design its so cute!!
Christine
It’s iSANMATE Matte Gradient red orange 🥰
Matt Ayres
I agree I need to know the orange
Mikateri
Ha ha, looks just like my Fluval 5 😄
Cyndi Longo
Amazing!!! What color / kind of filament are the orange shrimp? That ombré is so pretty
Beca Lynn
Holy shit that is amazing
MoonRavven
Oh my gourd. I’m in love! They are so cute! I love all the colors you did them in! My husband adores shrimp. He’s gonna freak when he comes home to this on his desk!
Printcess Pixel
This is amazing! Your projects lately have been SO different than what you usually do, but still so very Layers in Green! lol I'm loving all the new designs! I can't wait to make one! I just saw a functioning, full scale tank from another creator that I really wanted to print, but I have no use for it to be honest lol. THIS on the other hand, I need 12 of these and I need them NOW... lol. Great job, thank you!
S M
So much for my plan. We have lost power due to a thunderstorm ⛈️
