<p>My <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/212513-soap-fish">SOAP FISH</a> and <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/212518-fossil-dish">FOSSIL DISH</a> models were designed to fit together. &nbsp; There's zero tolerance built in, but the flexible nature of the vase mode fish print will allow it to clip into the fossil imprint and be removable for cleaning.<br><br>Water will leak rather than drain from the tail recesses in the dish.<br><br><strong>TO PRINT THE DISH</strong><br><br>The gaps in the tail are deliberate to allow drainage from the dish, but you &nbsp;can plug them if you wish by printing A <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/212513-soap-fish">SOAP FISH</a> in solid mode and snapping it into place.<br><br>The nicest version of all I think is pictured above, a combination with &nbsp;a <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/212513-soap-fish">SOAP FISH</a> in vase mode to keep your soap dry.<br><br>I've used a transparent filament (Prusament Azure Blue PLA) and printed the first three layers (0.2mm layer height ) in white to achieve what I hope is an embedded fossil look.<br><br>If you just want to use a contrasting colour - change at 5 layers or so.<br><br>I've used ironing on all top surfaces because I think that's nicer for this purpose. &nbsp;<br><br><strong>TO PRINT THE FISH</strong><br><br>Here's a crazy simple ten minute (or eleven!) print that will stop your soap from getting soggy.<br><br>Print in VASE mode, with zero layers set for the bottom. &nbsp;I've used a 0.6mm nozzle and PLA for this one, but a 0.4 will work and give a much more flexible end result (naturally).<br><br>The STL is a solid object which will work almost as well if the vase mode version is too skeletal for your taste, but you might need a bit of careful muscle power to snap it into place for the first time.<br>&nbsp;</p>
