Dragon articulé

Hi! I used Blender. However, to mess around and prototype the articulations I use Fusion 😉

Hi! The original Articulated Dragon was not designed for multicolor printing at the beginning, and it's not made of different solids as the Dragon Jr. So it is a painted 3MF file instead. Additionally, Creality Print lacks some features and can't load some 3MF multicolor files. There's a workaround until they fix it:

• Open the 3MF file with OrcaSlicer, you will see it is already painted.
• Save it as a different project.
• Open that project with Creality Print.

It should work now (it did for me). Good luck!

I have no idea. Maybe someone around with a Neptune 4 Plus can answer you

Hi! I'm afraid there's no short version of this Dragon. Some people asked for it, but it doesn't look right to me. It loses all the "essence". That's why I ended up deg Jr.

No idea, I haven't printed any egg 😅

Hi! At original size it needs a small bed to be printed (180 x 180 mm), and once placed straight it's about 40 cm long 😉

Hi! I'm working on it, but it's a side project I'm doing aside from the new designs. I'm improving a few things, so I hope it's worth the wait 😉

Amazing work mate. Gutted it’s not available to print in that fashion yet. Cant imagine how long it would take .

I just saw a video of exactly this, im trying to find that design as i want to print this as big as possible on my neptune 4 max

I am aslo interested in being able to make a giant version :) (bambulab size)

The project is almost finished, but needs some testing. It will be Patreon exclusive for some time (https://www.patreon.com/c/mcgybeer), at least during the beta stage or until I feel confident enough to release it for sale 😜

Hi! It seems either a bad gcode or a hardware issue. I'm not familiar with the K1 Max, so I'm not sure what could have failed in the hardware. I suggest you to and slice again the file. It might be just a corrupted file. Good luck!

the file is fine its your issue not the file

Hi! On most printers it can be printed as it is, without brim. It needs a nice first layer, good adhesion, and good layer cooling. If your machine has issues with any of these, then it might need a brim. Here you can find a few tips I've been gathering over time: https://www.mcgybeer.xyz/printing-tips

Hope it helps!

Thanks . That does help a lot. So far the print is going well (with a brim), but if all goes well, will test without.

Not sure what the issue could be. Please, send me a picture to [email protected] so I can help you 😉

Thanks a lot for your concern, I'll check it 😉

Hi! In Bambu Studio you can use the default settings for 0.2 mm layer height. That works perfect 👌

Thanks a lot for your concern. Fortunately, it seems it has been already removed 😉

You can separate it into pieces in the slicer. It's just a one click option. However, it won't be possible to assemble it after printing unless you modify the files or cut the links.

I get that, I was just wondering if you have one made up like that already

Well, so many people is asking about it that I'll work on it as soon as I release the new design 😜

Lol well thank you for letting me know

Hi! Depending on the printer and the scale they are more fit or loose. If you don't want to use glue you can adjust the whisker's scale and print them separately, or adjust the XY compensation on the slicer 😉

I'm afraid I haven't printed in resin for 3 years now. I'm quite disconnected from the resin present 😅

I never ed it to Thingiverse. Some s did it without permission, and therefore have been removed

Ohhhhh makes sense thanks!

Hi! What specs are you looking for?

Just length. thanks for the fast response too btw!

At original size it needs a small bed to be printed (180 x 180 mm), and once placed straight it's about 40 cm long 😉

okay perfect thanks!

That's a great question, hope people share their results here because I guess that depends a lot on the material. For me, I haven't printed any small one. I go for big prints! 😂

with the right settings.. and let's say 0.1mm nozzle instead of 0.4 you can go very small :)

Hi! Welcome to the best hobby ever! 😎
Sure, it will fit and print perfectly. I also own a A1 Mini and it is the best entry level machine. Just be sure to have a clean bed and everything will be work smoothly 😉

Awesome.. thanks for your quick response. 😃

Hi! I'm afraid I don't understand what do you mean. Please, send me a picture to [email protected] and I'll try to help 😉

Hi! Sure, I'll be glad to help. Can you send me a picture of the issue? ([email protected]). I can't find it 😅

Oh, just found it! I don't know what happened, because that issue is not in the original file. And no one has reported it before, thanks a lot for letting me know. I just ed a new version, please let me know if you find any other issue 😉

How awesome are you? Answer: VERY!! Keep the STLs going! They are so fun to print and play with!!

Grrrr... got the same failure again. So weird! I'm going to slice it in another slicer to give it one last go.

Hi! Did it work? I recently got another email with a similar issue, and in the end it was the slicer that was automatically reducing the polygon count and affecting the geometry

Hi! That's the first time I hear something like that. Please, try ing it again just in case something went wrong. Let me know if the issue is not solved

Ears or horns, I don't know what to call them.

Well, mine came out great, so it may be due to poor layer bonding. Anyway, a short horn version is included just in case 😉

Reported, thanks a lot for your concern 😉

Wow, that seems like a serious issue. Please, send me some pictures to [email protected] and I'll look into it.
Did you use Cura and scale it up, by any chance? In the past I've seen some models not printed properly because Cura was cutting a few mm from the bottom on upscaled parts. I think Creality slicer is also a Cura fork, so I guess that's another possibility.
Let me know!

Thanks for your quick response, I got your design from Cults, I don't have Cura only Creality App and I see scale up and stuff but don't quit know how to use it yet so I just went with what ever you offered. if you know how to add pics I would be glad to do that but ain't getting the option on my tablet (what I'm using for app) thanks again

One more thing I printed it in duel color silk pla would that make a difference

Hey bud, not sure if you are still having issues with your dragon, but with your raft try and make all of your sections (bottom, middle, top) as thin as possible. Also, if you have the option to, place your print .20mm above your raft. Since the raft will be really thin this will help your print grab. it might look like your raft isn't working but as long as the main outline sticks (not the netting sections) it should be ok. Hope this helps, peace.

Hi! At default scale it's about 45 cm (I don't exactly and I'm not at home right now). It was designed to fit in a Prusa Mini (180 x 180 mm). But can be scaled as much as you want 😉

Super vielen Dank 😘
