Throwback Thursday: Doodle Fish

Here is a throwback to April 2017 when I used a 3Doodler 2.0 tool to sculpt a fish.

Dad displayed the fish on a clear acrylic shelf in an upper window. Here is a picture from 2024.

As much as I loved the idea of the 3Doodler, the entry level extruder pens could not keep up with my desired work flow. I burned out a couple pens experimenting, and they often needed frequent breaks in production, more than I did.
