Description

I really loved Kh4rj0's dragon, and I thought: What if it could stand tall and proud? Now it does! I utilized Soozafone's awesome Dummy 13 to make the posing possible. It is not as simple as the parent dragon's print-in-place capabilities and will require some manual construction. I recommend a small amount of glue to connect the body segment frame and armor (just so it doesn't slip when making long bodies). Print the frame in PETG or ABS. PLA will fatigue much quicker and lose its cool posability. You can print the armor in PLA or in any other material. I did a PLA two-tone (blue dragons) armor with a PETG frame and an all PETG (the brown dragon) for testing. You will need support on the tail! If you have not printed Dummy 13 or friends, please check the original version for assistance! Settings I used: Infil: 10-15% (>20% makes it very heavy and causes sagging) Print Settings: 0.15mm STRUCTURAL (PrusaSlicer) I used Sunlu's filaments and had decent success. I used Marcus's Paws for the little dragon's feet! I couldn't find a way to add that to the proper remix links I did add some wings, but I'm unsure how heavy they will be on the overall frame. Currently, all the body segments are the same size for simplicity and sanity. Selling any of these models would require the blessing of the original author! NOTE: Eventually, even PETG will start to fatigue. I suggest looking into multi-material construction similar to this: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1820713-truly-playable-dummy-13#profileId-1943424 . While I have not tested it out due to not yet having an MMU, I hope it helps you. FYI, printing in smaller scales will result in very fragile (but very cute) dragons that disassemble rather easily.
