Darcy, The Poison Dart Frog

Darcy is a detailed 3D-printed model based on the Dendrobates tinctorius, a real species of poison dart frog known for its distinctive electric blue and black coloring. Designed with accuracy in mind, Darcy captures the natural patterns and proportions of this species in a compact, articulated form.

Each model is printed using eco-friendly PLA, a plant-based, biodegradable plastic that offers a more sustainable alternative to conventional materials. The limbs are fully articulated, allowing for subtle posing and adjustment, whether for display, educational purposes, or light tactile interaction.

Darcy is lightweight, durable, and suitable for a range of uses—from desk decor and shelf display to classroom models or gifts for amphibian enthusiasts. The electric blue and black coloration adds visual interest while remaining true to the frog’s natural appearance.

This model balances environmental responsibility with biological accuracy, offering a quiet but visually engaging addition to any setting.
