Shocking Pink Dragon Millipede

Do you love Millies? Or want to have one without the hassle of actually keeping one healthy and happy and to live comfortably in the knowledge that it won't someday try to crawl into your bed? How about a rare, "recently" discovered millipede from Thailand that looks fierce and is probably really unethical, if not actually illegal to have as a pet? How about if it was larger than a Giant American Millipede? Well, let me introduce to you my extra-large Shocking Pink Dragon Millipede! Desmoxytes purpurosea was found in 2006 in a limestone cavern in Thailand and is colloquially known in English as "Shocking Pink Dragon Millipede". They're actually only 30 centimeters long (1.2 inches) but my version is a whopping 20+cm (9inch) long from tail to antennae tip. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmoxytes_purpurosea File Explainer WeeksB_DragonMillipede.stl is all you need if you want to print and go If you wish to be more anatomically correct with a dark head and a pink body, you should use the WeeksB_DragonMillipede-Head.stl with a dark black or brown material and the WeeksB_DragonMillipede-Body.stl with as loud a pink material as you can find. The Head will pop onto the body with just a tiny bit of applied force. Printing This print is prone to bed adhesion issues. I had the easiest time printing at 0.2 and 0.28 mm layer heights with great difficulty getting all the legs to come through intact when I went to a 0.12mm height. Even when successfully printed, the legs are very brittle. (I'm still finding millipede legs around the house after three months). I don't recommend adding a brim or skirt as this is a print-in-place piece and will require more post-processing to clear out the excess material in order to get full movement. The legs and body segments move independently. Successfully printed in PLA on a Bambu Carbon X1.
