For the fish tank
- UniversalMaker’s set has SpongeBob's pineapple, Squidward's Easter Island head and Patrick's rock, plus a base the fish can swim through.
- Spike Mix’s Squidward house is split into parts to cut down on supports, and HugoWhite’s Chum Bucket has 2 mm walls.
- Cipis’s pineapple fish house needs no supports and an easy color change; MiniWorld3D’s Bikini Bottom also prints without supports.
- The designers made these for aquariums, but materials and finishes matter in water, so read each file's notes first.
