About this model

nihill's Articulated Shark is one of my favorite models to print. I have printed a dozen or so to give to friends and family and they all are amazed by it. Unfortunately, the original model has cylinder segments cut out of the top and bottom faces near the head. This barely shows in the final print, but I love the model so much, I want it to be perfect, so I removed those cut-outs.
