Description
Round Goby (Neogobius melanostomus)
The Round Goby is a small, bottom-dwelling fish native to the Black and Caspian seas in eastern Europe. The first North American record of one was in 1990 in the St. Clair River north of Windsor, Ontario. It has since spread throughout the great lakes and become a problematic invasive species. Researchers believe the fish was brought to North America in the ballast water of ships from Europe. In less than a decade the Round Goby has successfully spread through all five Great Lakes and has begun to invade inland waters. In some areas the fish has reached densities of more than 100 fish per square metre.
The 3D printable, digital files are in STL format. They’re scaled to life-size and ready for you to print and paint them.

Our tested print settings: Resin
We successfully printed this model in clear resin on an LCD 3D printer using these settings:
- Layer height: 0.05mm
- Hollowed: True
- Wall thickness: 2mm
- Infill: 0%
- A drainage hole in the mouth and one on the side of the tail end of the body
Feel free to use these settings as a guide or use your own preferred settings. They’re just the settings that we used when printing.
Due to the nature of resin printing, you will have to determine your own exposure settings because they are different for every brand of resin and printer.
